Hi Simon

How does multisampling help with pepper grain? The clean with Vuescan IR
works but surely Multisampling will only reduce ccd noise and improve
tonality, not get ride of the specks which appear in the highlights etc on
Provia.

Regards

Philip

To be honest David I had some very clean negs that didn't need any real
cleaning so I did not use the IR cleaning under Vuescan.  I have heard
people report varying amounts of success with it though.

ICE is, as you say, impressive.  The major plus for me using Vuescan with
multisampling was the reduction in the pepper grain apparent when scanning
Fuji Provia film.  Someone on another forum has had a response from Fuji
following the submission of some scans and they accept that the Multi Pro is
picking up emulsion flaws and that they will investigate the cause of the
pepper grain being on the emulsion.

Now where is David S.  He got me wondering if I am choosing the best scanner
now and he has gone silent on us ;-)
