I do not agree with you.
Maybe it depends on type of "corner store".
My Lab, which does film scanning writes on CD JPEG files 3072x2048 or
something in size.
They are over sharpened little bit, have grain aliasing problems. NPH-400
was complete disaster... I'm talking about Noritsu Lab machines that have
film scanning capabilities.
Some films scan better than others, sharpening in these machines is operater
controlable in the set-up, perhaps you could ask your lab tech to adjust it
to a lower level next time. I haven't seen any real bad grain aliasing on my
machine, though honestly, it's not something I have gone looking for either.
I have worked off full res scans at 100% from my machine.
Remember, these labs are scanning an entire roll of 24 exposure film at full
res in about 30 seconds. They are hampered somewhat by the need to get the
job done.
