it does remove something else. if you print 11x14 and larger and hold the prints very close, you will see a difference. that difference isn't worth it to me. i would rather shoot and stitch a multirow panorama if i need the detail at larger sizes. i got my money's worth out of my Coolscan 4000ED by scanning thousands of slides at high resolution. i expect the ten remaining rolls of Provia 100F to be the last rolls of slide film i will likely shoot. i can see shooting Velvia for a while longer, but only when i am sure i will need more enlargement.
