Re: Epson 4490 and Kodakcrome

I'd agree ICE is 100% no-go with silver emulsion black and white. With
Kodachromes, it may work just fine, it may work partially. Depends on
the vintage of Kodachrome and the scanner.

FWIW, I have no problems with Kodachromes from the 70's and onward,
with Minolta Scan Elite 5400. It's "Grain Dissolver", a hardware level
light source diffuser, may be instrumental. The Nikons, and the Elite
5400 II, with their less diffuse light sources, may be more
problematic, just speculating. With these scanners, a third-party
Scanhancer diffuser may help (if available), again just specuating.
