Jo - Thank you for the compliments.

Adding graininess to a photo is just to mimic the graniness of infrared film. Sometimes it adds character and sometimes not. It's subjective.

As for your problems with the lil' blue patches: that's pretty strange. I'd have to know more about what you are using to take the photos - digital camera or scanner? My guess is that it's a hardware problem though I've never heard of "patches". Sometimes a single cells on a CCD chip can go bad but that would only result in one single pixel being miscoloured. Perhaps you could send me a photo or two that are effected and I can help you track down the problem or at least suggest a way to fix it in Photoshop.
