[Leica] Nathan in Zurich

[Peter Klein <pklein@2alpha.net>]

Here's our own Nathan Wajsman, while giving Katya and me a walking tour of 
downtown Zurich last month.

I need a little help from our resident scanning experts here.  Nathan was 
wearing dark blue clothing, and it scanned with a lot of noise in the form 
of colored speckles.  It's harder to see in the little JPG, but in the 
original TIFF it's pretty bad.  Every time I tried to work on the 
brightness curve, the speckles became more visible.

I'm using Vuescan and a Nikon LS-2000, the film is Kodak Supra 400 
(negative film) shot at 200.  I tried multiple sample scanning, "long 
exposure pass," and nothing seemed to help.

This problem looks similar to the "bloom" I've seen in brightly-colored 
areas on slides.  Is there anything I can do to improve the scan?
