till someone more knowledgeable answers. I have been adding noise based on the color wheel. Blues toning down oranges for instance. It seems to give a more natural appearance. Duplicating my object with noise and then using transparency sometimes gives me the look I'm after. I go through the screen modes too. Using a clip mask will give you selective control over the effect.

Anyway just some of the things I do. Thanks for the tip on the object select. It sure beats Shift click.
