Trying to create a gritty, newspaper scan effect

    Hey guys, I've been trying to get a gritty, realistic newspaper scan effect with paper texture but I can't seem to get it. I was following the instructing from this post (find the link https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/38328/how-to-make-scanned-newspaper-effect , it's the reply from Pierre Vreins) because his resulting image is exactly what I want but can't seem to get. Ive been putting my image into grayscale, then bitmap. Then I render clouds and pixelated it w mezzotint, and then I overlay it. I think this is what I'm having trouble with because when this step is done it looks like this and it just looks way off.

    Here is an example from when I tried the effect on the picture from his post:

    As you can see, the issue gets worse when I add a curves adjustment layer.

    Any help or advice is much appreciated!

    The quick answer to a long question. You need to watch a few minutes long "Dotted Halftone Pattern Effect" tutorials on YouTube to recover the issue.
