I wish that you would make the film grain reduction a separate control. I
just tried it with my Minolta Elite and now the Clean/Scrub/Scour filters
soften the image whereas before it only got rid of spot and scratch defects
without making the image soft. With 6.5 and before I just left it set to
Scour all the time since it didn't have any affect on the image except
cleaning it up. When set to Scour 6.6 makes a major change in the image --
almost looks like a watercolor painting now. It didn't do this before. The
new grain algorithm softens the image so, please, make it a separate
control.
