Raw scan and digital ICE

[Frank Ludvigsen]

Is there any way I can use Digital ICE when I´m scanning 4x5 color negatives 16-bits for ColorNeg?

I´m using Epson sw with the Epson V700(and hope I´m getting linear scans).

I believe ICE only works on chromes not negs.

Thanks Bob, it works fine on negs, but not in "raw". That is, not with Epson software. So I was hoping I wouldn´t have to buy something like Vuescan, or upgrade my little Silverfast SE to Pro edition. The ColorNeg manual says: " The working file
must be 16-Bits/Channel RGB and must be in Linear mode". But when I do that the Digital Ice is disabled. Everything is disabled. Which it should be. But I still would like ICE to work.

The second Google hit:

In a nutshell everything but silver based B&W film.

I just recieved a solution to the problems from Christoph Oldendorf,
ColorNeg Germany.

I have done a quick test and it looks fine. Silverfast SE seems to be able to handle both the problem with 16bit/linear and ICE.
