Be fair! ... is the "extra stuff" the Nikon sees ONLY dust &
scratches? Derek & I both recognize the problem with Nikons, dust,
scratches and grain being the light source. Its characteristics may
be something to avoid, or may be a preference. As we attributed
"soft" and "hard" images in the past to diffused and point source
enlargers, either was a preference. It is also true, with post-scan
software, it is easier to make a hard image soft, than it is to make a
soft image hard ... but I'll admit removing dust and scratches is a
pain in the _ss!
