Digital BW, The Print

To all

I don't have much, if any experience with plug ins.
Was working on an image last night that it would be nice to give it a 
lot of scratches on the negative look...PS's "Dust&Scatches" is not 
the effect I'm looking for...more the film run through projector with 
sand in it. 

Recommendations on plug in packages?
Places to acquire them from?
Recommended $ to not exceed?

Will start looking around myself and wanted to ask here as well.

Thanks in advance,
Cleavis

You could experiment with using noise or film grain filters, then running a
motion blur on them.  That can get you a scratched looked, but I don't know
if that's exactly what you're looking for.  Also, you could ask on the
Photoshop Discussion List <photoshop@...>

If you want scratches on the negative, take an unexposed, 
processed piece of film and scratch it the way you want.  Scan it 
and add it to your image as a layer that you can blend however 
you want.

Actually, there are filter sets that do exactly what you want...


Ad the parent plug-in is well worth  the few bucks...
