<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm scanning a bunch of old Kodachrome slides with the latest version of Vuescan Professional and a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED and I'm having trouble with Vuescan's Infrared Clean filter. It either creates really annoying halos and/or blows out the reds in the image. </p>
<p>I started (and then aborted) this project several years ago and at that time I traded several emails with Ed Hamrick. He was very nice and very helpful, and actually changed the code in Vuescan to try to fix it, but he was never able to resolve the issue.</p>
<p>I understand that IR cleaning Kodachrome slides is problematic and I may just have to decide between accurate, dirty images or clean, distorted images, but I would sure appreciate any suggestions you might have. I'll post some cropped images that illustrate the problem.</p>
<p>Many thanks,<br>
Dave</p>
