Hi Tom,
Both, the Digital ICE does slightly soften the entire image and I would guess
that this effect would be more pronounced when applied to the new
generation of Nikon scanners (as they are reported to be able to resolve far
more at their quoted 4000dpi than other current 4000dpi scanners) and yes
the ICE can only replace lost data with an interpolated value. If you have had
experience using the clone tool in Photoshop or other image editing
packages you will know that it is very flexible and can often be used to
reconstruct even large areas of damaged emulsion.
