>"Grain is the brushstroke of photography." - Man Ray
The little jpg looks nice to me. Bigger would be better, of course. While
the detail looks markedly grainy, from what I understand it's an artifact
generated between the light source Nikon uses in its scanners (LED) and the
dye clouds in color films. All in all it must not mean much at normal
viewing or enlargement size as I think I've read the LS 4000 is the best
35mm desktop/prosumerscanner currently available.
BTW, just because Photoshop hasn't been used, it doesn't mean what is on
the screen is unmanipulated. The software that drives the scanner does its
own manipulation on the data it is receiving and then transfering to your
computer, and a lot of that manipulation is very similar to what you would
use Photoshop (not cuting and pasting or moving around, but smoothing,
sharpening, raising or lowering contrast, etc.).
