Yes, I would have to say that I do notice this
*slightly* when viewing the scan at "actual pixels".

However, if I use the Grain Desolver (Digital GEM and
ROC), any and all signs of the "pepper effect" or
grain is completely removed.  I don't know if using
this feature can result in softening of the image, but
I haven't noticed it.  Then again, I haven't done any
specific tests on it either.

I can say that the prints that use the grain desolver
show no signs of grain whatsoever, while those prints
from scans where I didn't use that feature do show
very slight signs of grain in smooth areas such as sky
(but not in a bad way).
