I've read (but haven't had a need to try it so far) that grain in sky areas
can be corrected/retouched using the blue chanel as a mask. I'd be
interested in hearing from those who've used that technique.

>I think what you may have here derives in part from the sky and other
nominally bright parts of images on negatives being the darkest -- most
dense -- in the film. So sky in negs can be more difficult and show grain
and/or noise much like dark shadow areas of slides are the difficult parts
to scan and image.
