As I understand it, Silverfast Ai is not equivalent to dICE, nor is it
meant to be.
Digital ICE is a method of using a special infrared light channel to
remove dust and scratches by making them visible via the IR scan, and
then fixing those areas.
Silverfast Ai is a software package that mainly is for
calibrating/profiling color accuracy for film and slides. It probably
now provides a scratch/dirt removal module which was based upon
Polaroid's software scratch and dust removal software.
Most reviews I have seen for the Plustek OpticFilm 7200 scanner seem to
indicate that although it is good value for the cost, it doesn't live up
to the expected results of a 7200 dpi scanner.
