Nikon Scan is equipped with three photo retouch tools: Digital
ICE, Digital ROC, and Digital GEM. These tools can be used to
help repair defects caused by faults in the original image, includ-
ing dust, scratches, fading, and film grain.
Digital ICE
Digital ICE is built into 4000 ED, COOLSCAN IV ED, LS-2000,
and COOLSCAN III film scanners, where it is used to remove
the effects of dust and scratches from images during scanning.
To use Digital ICE, check the Enable Digital ICE box and
choose a mode from the menu shown below.
Normal
The image is processed digitally to remove
the effects of scratches and dust. The effects
are reflected in the Natural tab in the pre-
view area.
Item Description

This setting is effective in removing the ef-
fects of very thin scratches or dust that is
barely visible. It may, however, result in re-
duced sharpness. The effects are reflected in
the Natural tab in the preview area.
Sharpen
The image is processed digitally to remove
the effects of scratches and dust. Edges are
sharpened while defects are corrected. The
effects are reflected in the Natural tab in the
preview area.
When the Enable Digital ICE check-box is on, the informa-
tion display in the scan window shows the option selected in
