Jeff, I found most of my b&w scanning struggles became much
easier after switching to PyroCat HD and some similar 
behaving PG/TEA concentrates(HyperCat and some homebrew 
things). It seems to mask the grain/scatter effect yet 
retain strong edge effects. I also like the skin tones.
Here's a shot of my son as we left for a canoe trip this
fall that I had posted for something/someone else but it 
gives a good example of the effect I'm describing. This 
happens to be HP5+ but I've felt that Tri-X gets along well 
and similarly with these soups, too.
