Hello, i scan historic negatives professionally. It is not unusual to have excessive grain in 1930s miniature and medium format negatives, at the time most photofinishers did not use a fine grain developer. You can select the sky, make a new copy layer, and shift the pixels slightly. This does a lot to break up the grain. You can also apply selective blurring or unsharp mask. You can even apply it globally and use the history erase brush to restore sharpness where it is appropriate. good luck Thomas Robinson
