Hi Becky,
This is a good question and I can see that you're receiving a lot of good advice from other colleagues. I think ultimately it comes down to whether the original image is considered an object or not and whether the removal of dust and scratches in destructive or not. I have in the past worked on photographic collections and using ICE was never considered as one had no control over what was being removed during scanning. I hope that helps.
Regards,
Matt

Subject: Scanning slides / digital ICE technology
Dear All,
If anyone can help I would be enormously grateful. We have been discussing our views and our working practise in the use of digital ice technology (automatically removing scratches using scanning software).
Does anyone use digital ICE technology when digitising slides a) within their photographic collections that have been donated and b) when digitising slide collections of events / site visits that have been photographed by staff within your organisation? If so, do you store 2 copies one with Digital ICE and one without?
Considering in-house photography, we wouldn't dream of removing scratches from old glass plates that have been digitised, but are considering doing it for our slides, I suppose the real question is, at what stage do internally produced photographic collections become objects that need preserving in their own right? Also does anyone do colour corrections such as removing a cyan cast when scanning internal slide collections?
Hopefully it all makes sense!
With many thanks in advance,
Becky
