To remove dust and scratches from the image, check Enable Digital ICE and select Nor- mal or Fine from the Digital ICE menu. A setting of Fine can be used to remove very fine scratches or barely visible dust, although this may sometimes result in reduced sharpness. To restore faded colors or reduce the effects of film grain, first check Enable Post Pro- cessing. Faded colors can be restored adjusting the Digital ROC (for Restoration of Color) slider, while the image can be processed to minimize grain using the Digital GEM (for Grain Equalization and Management) slider. Moving the sliders to the right increases the effects of Digital ICE3. To view the effects of Digital ROC or Digital GEM in the preview image, click the Redraw button.

Because of the complexity of the processing involved, Digital ICE3 operations require additional time to perform. The time required is determined in part by the processing power of your computer and in part by the size of the image.
