Since then I downloaded both the recommended DCE Tools (Hot Pixels) and Polaroid's Dust and Scratch repair software. The DCE Tools software worked great once with my Tiff file of this image, which was scanned and remained a RGB 16 bit file. After the first DCE cleaning it would open a window saying it only worked with "RGB files". The Tiff was still in fact RGB. Other than not working beyond the first time it worked really well using the default settings. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong to get this message? With the Polaroid software, the apparent correction using the default settings was not as great, but the SW worked everytime. The Polaroid adjusted image is posted here: http://www.leica-gallery.net/gjl-1/image-92010.html Original negative was Kodak Tri-X (not Fuji Acros). This neg was from the Tri-X formulation prior to the current formula. Kodak was right, the older Tri-X has more silver in it and does not scan as well. Thanks again Tina and Douglas! Regards, Greg
