More on DIGITAL ICE on the Epson V500

Using DIGITAL ICE does add a significant amount to a scan, and the amount of time added seems greater on some photos than others. For example, on a simple 645 size transparency that I scanned recently, the scan without DIGITAL ICE took 43 seconds and the scan with DIGITAL ICE took 155 seconds.

The scanner resolution was set at 1200 dpi, 24 bit color, and the 'Unsharp Mask' was on; ICE was set to 'Quality' rather than 'Speed'.
