since no home scanner can accurately capture the actual visible grain 
of Tri-X you are stuck trying to process around this failure... you 
may be able to do this to your satisfaction, but I have not, nor have 
I seen anyone else's work that satisfies me... though I haven't seen 
your work of course.  the scanner scans across the grain and 
quantizes the image as it should, but that does not mean that the 
results are pleasing.  With finer grained films the images already 
look smooth and the averaging that occurs during a scan just 
maintains the smoother look.  For large format work, the quantization 
of Tri-X is not so much an issue because, even though it looks bad 
when you zoom in, you don't have to enlarge it as much and it is left 
in the sub-visible realm.

how do you process out the obvious grain quantization from your Tri-X 
scans?
