Kodachrome scanning

[jtk]

JTK,

Thanks for this reply. Since Kodachrome will be my main scanning application, this information about Vuescan is very important to me.

My oldest Kodachrome slides go back to around 1970, and K-14 was introduced in 1974.

I have good success scanning Kodachrome with a V600 Epson scanner. I use "professional" setting. The slides presented with link below date to 1977. They were scanned at 800dpi with no other manipulation (default settings). The v600 includes a slide holder that allows you to scan 4 slides at a time. If I plan to print the scans I use a higher resolution. See scans here:

Your image -> https://i.imgur.com/O66BAgk.jpg doesn't seem to have benefited from ICE (dust and scratch removal). Was it scanned with ICE or was it just not effective in this case?

Les, I am a total novice in scanning. I have done very little of it and am not up to speed on terminology. Please explain the term ICE. I see the Epson V600 has an ICE logo on the unit, but I do not see ICE as a setting while scanning. As I mentioned earlier, these slides were scanned at default settings. When setting my scanner for positive film, the only setting checked is "Unsharp Masking". Other settings available are: Grain Reduction, Color Restoration, Backlight Correction and Dust Remover. These settings must be selected if wanted.

It is the setting for "Dust Remover" that enables or disables ICE.
