In threads past I have mentioned I have an ongoing project building a slide show, image collection of Civil war re-enactments, edited to emulate civil war era photos.

Some of them I have worked on degrading and aging more. Did I go too far on this one?
Too my eye this shows too much grain. The original images I have looked at, for all their foibles, are remarkably free of grain. After all, they were large plates and contact printed.
A bit over zealous Craig, cheers. Ed.
Yeah, I did this one after watching something on the history channel, and the pictures in it were pretty horrendous, very soft and "mushy", but they weren't that grainy, think I'll re-work this one after that show has faded from memory somewhat.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
