I use a Adobe Lightroom. There's an option for noise reduction. I go easy for the most part but ride the color slider pretty aggressively. I DSLR scan so I don't have as many problems as flatbed scanning with color noise, although it is present.

[B]WoW ! wish I knew how to do that -- I am having trouble with scans either on my Epson 1650 OR teh Epson 2489 flatbed scanners -- I HAVE cleaned glass underneath. [/B]

There's noise reduction and then there's noise reduction. I see a lot of digital color noise. Many of the artifacts on this scan are not analog.

Lovely.

Noise reduction and destruction of dye clouds ("grain") would take away from this beautiful image. It would inkjet print beautifully on canvas or canvas-textured inkjet paper.

That would be 'Cheating' to reduce the 'Grain' !

You need to run some noise reduction.

This just makes me want to try out my expired high speed films.
Too bad I have my new Ektachrome and the weather over here in the states isn't very good...
