[filmscanners] Scanning a foggy image

["Brian" <bdplikaytis@bellsouth.net>]

    OK, let me ask a question. I have a rather nice slide of a boat dock
with some small boats moored which I took up in Maine. There was a slight
fog/mist in the air when I took the shot. A print made from the slide
captures the foggy nature of the composition nicely. However, when I scan it
(Nikon Coolscan 4000) using ViewScan, the scanner/software seems to
interpret the fog as noise(??) and produces a scan with more clarity than
the original image has.
    My question is, how do you scan slides or negatives which are somewhat
soft with fog or mist and retain the look of the original scene? Failing a
scanning solution, is there a tweak I can do in Photoshop to get the
appearance back? I've been doing this for about a year so I'm not real
experienced by I have learned quite a bit reading the emails on this group.

thanks for any help,

Brian
