Removing Dust and Scratch Marks from Film and Slides Using
Digital ICE Technology
Digital ICE Technology Specifications
Your scanner and its Epson Scan software are equipped with the Digital ICE Technology and
Digital ICE Lite Technology features that remove dust or scratch marks from color film or slides.
Original image Digital ICE Technology applied
Digital ICE Technology is a hardware-based dust removal method that is more accurate than the
Dust Removal feature. Digital ICE Technology can remove dust or scratch marks without
affecting the image composition. However, it takes longer to scan using Digital ICE Technology
and also uses more of your system resources. For faster (but less accurate) dust removal, try
removing dust marks using the Dust Removal feature. See Removing Dust Marks for details.
Note:
Digital ICE Technology is not available in Full Auto Mode.
You cannot use Dust Removal and Digital ICE Technology at the same time.
When you scan film or slides, the Dust Removal feature is available for Full
Auto Mode or Professional Mode only (it is not available for Home Mode). To
remove dust marks from color film or slides in Home Mode, you must use
the Digital ICE Technology feature.
You can use Dust Removal or Digital ICE Technology on the following types of film or slides:
