Epson Scan Dust Removal for Film, Descreening and DIGITAL ICE Epson Scan's "Dust Removal" for film and DIGITAL ICE settings cannot be enabled at the same time. When DIGITAL ICE is on, the Dust Removal checkbox is grayed out; when the DIGITAL ICE checkbox is unchecked, the Dust Removal checkbox is enabled. Dust Removal is only a software process, therefore the correction quality is less than DIGITAL ICE. Hard disk space and system memory requirements are less than those for DIGITAL ICE. Processing speed is also faster than DIGITAL ICE. Dust Removal is available for conventional Black & White negative film; it also performs well for Kodachrome film, whereas DIGITAL ICE does not. DIGITAL ICE also does not support the Descreening filter. If DIGITAL ICE is on, the Descreening filter checkbox is disabled. Other Epson Scan features such as "Grain Reduction" for film and "Color Restoration" for film and photographs work well with DIGITAL ICE.
