The pc version of Dust and Scratch removal is available now. The Mac version
should be available in approximately 2 months

FWIW, I recently scanned some old (as in 40 years) Kodachromes and used
the Polaroid Dust and Scratch filter for clean up.  Apparently that
issue with dICE doesn't hold true for the Polaroid software.

  Unfortunately, when it comes to film that dICE cannot be used with
(films which have high levels of residual silver, such as true black and
white films and some Kodachromes) you have no dICE to help you, but you
still have the same problem with the lighting causing significant grain
exaggeration and the same for dust, dirt and scratches.

To appease the people who have been brainwashed into thinking they "must
have" dICE, mainly due to people using scanners that really require it
warning people how necessary it is, Polaroid developed a Dust and
Scratch filter which is quite effective, but usually completely
unnecessary.  It is available free for PC users, I don't know if a Mac
version will exist or not.
