I took some pics with the ISO160 film and they came out kinda grainy. I used flash and tried to compensate but they came out grainy. Scaned the pics into Photoshop, made the pics look better but they are still grainy. Is there anything that I could do to reduce the grain? Maybe a filter or a plugin?

ISO 160 or ISO 1600?

ISO 160 is slow film (relatively speaking) and needs lots of light but should give very fine grain. ISO 1600 is very fast film, needing little light to make an image, but is usually grainy.

Thin negative will result in (relatively) grainy prints. Sound like your shots were under-exposed.

There are de-graining pluggins used in the digital internegative process when shooting film. The algorythm license probably causes more than a Photoshop license.

you can reduce the grain to some extent with 'smart blur' but be very judicious how you apply it, keep the threshold just high enough to remove the grain (ie very low) and the radius very small (probably around 1 pixel). If you select higher values for these you'll get a cartoony look you've probably seen before on a few of porn photos.

SNP.

Edited to add, if you duplicate the layer and smart blur the bottom layer slightly more than you really want, you can use the top layer opacity slider to find a happy medium between the two.
