[filmscanners] Re: The"Pepper Grain" problem.

["Edward Gosfield III" <ogeiii@icehouse.net>]

Do you think this is due to the usual high temperature processing of color
films, analogous to pin holing in black and white that gets processed too
hot?

[...]I
attribute the 'pepper grain' to microscopic bubbles in the
scratch-resistant layer which protects the emulsion. I also have seen
the 'pepper grain' effect on every brand of film I have examined, not
just Fuji, and in both slides and negatives.
