Hi Folks,
I'd appreciate any help with the following query. I'm getting prepared to scan
many strips of negatives, and I would like to and apply ICE to all the images
in each strip. Can this be done? I've been trying this out but I seem to be
only able to apply ICE to the first image picked as part of the batch on each
strip to be scanned.
I'd appreciate any help on this matter,
Thanks in anticipation,
Regards
Stephen Edgar

Assuming you are using NS, just get the settings how you want them, save the settings with some easy to remember name, then select "set user setting." That shoudl do it.

Make your settings, then select "settings" then "set user setting"
When previewing negative strip thumbnails in Nikonscan, you can hold control while clicking to select them all, then hit scan. You can also rotate the ones that need it in the thumbnail preview mode.

The trick to making Nikon Scan easier to use is to be able to create and retireve setups. I created a reference Creating-Saving-Applying Settings for CS5000 that may be helpful. Ordered 1 through 13. Steps 1-5 is for creating and saving settings and steps 6-13 is for retrieving and applying the previously saved settings. I would create a setting with auto expose/focus, crop with all other settings off or neutral then save it. Experiment with ICE on FINE or NORMAL setting. Fine is great not only for a very aggresive dust and scratch removal but it acts as a mild form of grain reduction as it will also diffuse the grain a touch without the additional time as when using GEM1. Normal is great as it does not in anyway affect the sharpness of the film.
Although I usually scan in "neutral" mode, I've found Analog Gain coupled with Shadow Tool as in PS CS2 (and others) to be invaluable in recovering grossly underexposed film.
