The one thing leads to the other, in my experience. Sharp, clear scans also
show sharp, clear dust! :-)
>For about the same price you can get the Acer 2740 which has digital ICE,
which removes or reduces dust and surface defects, which can be a help if
you have poorly stored images, or a dusty environment, but if you are only
enlarging to 8 x 10, it is less of a problem. Less expensive still is the
Acer Scanwit 2720 which doesn't have this feature. (The Acers are SCSI)
If you have time constraints/schedules to meet, paying the extra $$$'s for
ICE will probably work out well over a reasonably-short length of time.
Spotting may be "therapeutic" and will definitely help you learn your
software better, but it uses up a lot of time, too. Whatever, it's something
you need to factor into your decisions.
