You all know I'm a texture freak so I may be able to salvage a few that way too. I have been also applying a painterly effect to some. Using either one of those methods, it either makes it look noisy or mucky ...on purpose!
Using your art abilities on those kind of images is an excellent idea because noise really doesn't matter then. I would suggest you get the trial version of Neat Image Pro.
