I see I can no longer avoid this issue with my CoolScan 5000. VueScan provides a grain reduction (three levels: none, light, medium, heavy) and sharpening option, so does Lightroom. Am I any better off applying these filters in one rather than the other? What additional issues are involved?

A simple method to reduce grain is to scan in color, open in Photoshop and apply some slight blur to the Blue channel. It has worked for me. I use a Minolta 5400 that has a hardware diffuser that can be placed in the light path - which reduced the grain - much like on an enlarger. _____
