I downloaded the free photokit try-out and the grain filter hardly produced any. I've been experimenting making grainy prints using a sheet of random black dots imported into Photoshop and combined with a mono image using the screen function. I then converted to two tones using the contrast control (to 100%), the brightness control altered the cut-off. Not quite right because black areas have a stipple to them, so I'm still experimenting.

Jeff, just what makes the noise uglier than the grain? And Tina, those are interesting resources. I wonder how long it will be before we don't have to mess with these things, the cameras just deal with it. -- Emily L.
