Thank you all for your response. I have been experimenting with the lpi settings and have discovered that if I scan at 800lpi instead of 400lpi on the 2100XL Powerlook scanner (using Magicscan) the noise disappears ! As a workaround, If I was to scan at 800lpi (16Bit) and reduce to 400lpi (16Bit) in order to retouch and make final adjustments to 360lpi (8Bit) would that jeopardise final file quality ? Thank you. David
