Why don't you go to www.hamrick.com download a copy and TRY it? :-7 From
everything you've said so far, it sounds like you have unreasonable
expectations.
AFAICS the only way you will get the sharpness you want is to turn ICE
or IR cleaning off and spot by hand.
Something else you should also ask or test is whether the softening you
see on the screen is visible in the end product - whatever that may be!
I used to be peeved by the softening caused by IR cleaning until I realised
it reduced the appearance grain aliasing. :)
