Digital BW, The Print

I have Noise Ninja, and it works quite well on digital camera images, but I
didn't like it very much for scans.  I expect that Tyler's right that Neat
Image would be a better choice.

Changing topics slightly, recently I tested scanning at various resolutions
with my Cezanne.  I tried 6000 spi, 5000 spi, ... down to 2000 spi.  I found
that the character of the grain changed quite dramatically, with the 6000
spi scans having the finest grain by far.  While that's probably pretty
hardware dependent, it's probably worth trying some different resolutions to
see what happens.  In addition, I scan BW film as a color positive and pick
the best channel to keep in photoshop. Often there're pretty big differences
as to how the individual channels show grain.
