'Monk reworked' is a digital original (no smoothing at all). I don't feel happy adding grain to digital captures. Sort of a philosophical objection. There is a little deliberate smoothing(dialed back to half the recommendation) on Faerie Princess, to accentuate the smooth skin from using primarily red channel. See the background still for some texture visible. No smoothing on the first casual portrait. These from scanned CN too, so not normal BW grain. The reshoots will be Neopan and Acros.

A little bit of grain in Monk reworked, I suggest. If not it becomes too 'NeatImaged'.
