Did you see the grain on prints made from the negative or from the digital version?

Haha.
Conceivably one can have an image with virtually no grain, like from Panatomic-X, then get a poorly done scan and get a lot of noise.

Color negative film requires C-41 chemistry, Cinestill is a black and white developer. I’m not familiar with using the wrong chemistry, but suspect that is your problem.
I think you got it!
But...if Cinestill is a B&W developer, how did he get a color image?

But...if Cinestill is a B&W developer, how did he get a color image? Good question. I have no experience with color negative film, and don’t know the answer. The only Cinestill developer I saw in a Google search was DF96. Maybe I didn’t look hard enough.

I've just started using fuji film 200 with a new lomo lc~a+ 35 mm. developing with Cinestill and surprised by the amount of noise I'm getting. I stopped down to iso ton100, no help. At this iso I didn't expect any noise, I followed Cinestill developing instructions very close. I was shooting in daylight, sun and clouds. I've used Cinestill to develop some 120 film with no noise. Any ideas.

If you see noise in a scan, I would look at the scanner first.

I've looked at that ,other scans are fine. Only the fujicolor 200. Im starting to think the noise is from overxpouser, camera meter error

I shoot digital as well as film. I'm retired, plenty of time on my hands, plus I like the challange and process film offers

Its been awhile since I home processed color, but the usual rules apply, consistent and accurate temperature control, consistent agitation according to the directions, fresh chemistry within the use by after mixing date.

Interesting thread.
I used to process all kinds of film back in the day.
My first guess is the processing temperature was too high.
That can increase the grain size.

Thought that but I'm right at temperature.. I think it might be overxpouser or maybe my agitation during processing is too agressive

Cinestill is c41 color negative processing
So, there is more than one CineStill developer. Thanks for telling us which one you used. Besides being extra careful with your time and agitation, you might also want to double-check your thermometer’s accuracy.
