Adding isn't the right word exactly, let's say the Nikon without ICE
'exaggerates' dust and scratches. So why not just use ICE then and be
done with it? I do, except in the case of certain Kodachromes, which
exhibit artifacts with ICE scans that *are* added, and detract
significantly from image quality.
