Re: Some advice needed (none / 0)
Thank you so much. I never knew about software.

Of course I tried using Dust & scratches in Photoshop but it was not perfect. Then I used Adobe Image Ready (I don't remember precisely what i did but I think when I opened a photo or scan it used to say it can optimize it and in some scans result was little bit better).

Then i found how to improve - just next to Dust & Scratches button there is one - Reduce noise with three parameters. After many attempts I found when I put upper one at 0, and the rest at 25%, result is quite satisfactory. You can try also.

Re: Some advice needed (none / 0)
I originally tried using the reduce noise filter on the photo above and it didn't reduce the grain at all so I didn't include the results in my posting. It appeared to me that the reduce noise filter affects mostly other types of noise such as scanner induced, camera, and Jpeg compression noise. These types of noise problems seem to be affected differently than film grain by the filter, but if your results work for you then there is no problem.  One would think that noise is noise, but the size, color and frequency of the noise may be looked at in different ways by the software. Anyway, best of luck with your photos and book.
