I suspect the "grain" that was encountered was the aliasing that
scanners have with some films, as people have mentioned on this list.
A simple switch to a different film with a slightly different grain
structure and the "grain" would probably disappear. This was a mass
market computer magazine comparo. You are going to get infinitely
more information on Tony's web site.
