Removing Dust Marks
Using the Dust Removal feature in Epson Scan, you can virtually “clean” the dust marks from
your originals as you scan them.

Note:
Before scanning your originals, carefully remove any dust that you can see
on them.
When you scan film or slides, the Dust Removal feature is available for Full
Auto Mode or Professional Mode only (it is not available for Home Mode). To
remove dust marks from color film or slides in Home Mode, use the Digital
ICE Technology feature as described in
Removing Dust and Scratch Marks
from Film and Slides Using Digital ICE Technology
.
Do not use Dust Removal to scan film or slides that do not contain dust or
scratch marks; otherwise your scanned image may be distorted or blurred.
For more accurate, hardware-based dust or scratch removal from your color
film or slides, you can use the Digital ICE Technology feature. See
Removing Dust and Scratch Marks from Film and Slides Using Digital ICE
Technology
for details.
Follow these steps to remove dust marks using Epson Scan.
Place your original on the scanner. See one of these sections for instructions.
