[filmscanners] Re: Anyone Have Experience WithGrainSurgerySoftware?
I am trying out the demo and I have not been impressed either. I am more
impressed with NEAT.

FWIW my experiments with the demo of this software left me *very* cold.
It seems quite effective on patterned images (eg flatbed scans from
textured paper). However, I found it to have little benefit on normal
grain - when it was adjusted up enough to be any 'better' than the usual
grain softening techniques, it introduced strange vertical streaks and
other artefacts. Plus the effect is inconsistent, giving a very odd look
to the images. Vuescan's grain removal is far more usable, I think.
Maybe I just didn't get the hang of it? But I wasn't all that impressed
with their demo images either (is it just me, or does the 'grain' look a
little fake..?), so that must be a bad sign. Too fussy, perhaps - but at
that price I'd want something a lot better.
