Hi all, a "VueScan refugee" from UseNet comp.periphs.scanners here :-)
Yes, I noticed this error also. Tmax 100 and 400 (are there others) ARE
silver-based traditional films, like Tri-X, Plus-X, etc. They merely have a
different grain structure "T Grain", as per marketing hype anyway. Certainly
a different look than than Tri-X etc, but silver based nonetheless.
Also, it is my understanding that ICE/FARE has trouble with KodaChrome not
because of anything in the dye layers, but for fact that Kodachrome still
contains a goodly amount of silver in the processed emulsion, unlike E-6 and
C-41 processed films.
Also also, I've had quite acceptable results using LS-2000 and VueScan's IR
Clean function on Kodachrome's, both old emulsions from the 40's and
modern versions.
