Hi ph

The way I was taught in Shake with Tinder was:

:: Degrain the plate (either yourself or get someone else to do it)
:: Do the paint/compositing work on that
:: Use a common node and switch matte to show only the parts of the plate that changed
:: Regrain this patch using the original grained plate (using a neutral area with no details) as a reference
:: Composite these changed areas over the original grained plate
:: If the original plate has more grain than it should, you can use the result of the common node as a mask for the Regrain

This way you preserve the original plate as much as possible and with any luck the changed areas will have matched grain .
