Yes, that was one of my issues too; which is why I have been working with 
canvas in two textures. The finer one is great for smaller images where typical 
canvas texture would overwhelm the image.

Actually, I find that the fine texture isn't necessary for large prints; they 
work well with the coarser weave. I would have agreed with you on the "fine 
art tradition" stuff, until I worked with the matte canvasses for a while. The 
response to the gallery of canvas prints at Photo Plus was quite overwhelming, 
no "yuck, its canvas", more like "wow, look at these canvasses!" People kept 
trying to buy them off the walls.
