Odd....
I was just looking at a 10x15 Scala scan that I added a fair amount 
of grain to (about 6 I seem to remember) in order to really push the 
look.  I can see patination.
I agree with smaller amounts it is totally indestinguishable.  I am 
interested in your results though.  I almost gave up on this ages ago.
Can you see anything on print (or screen) with high levels?
