Jeez, it figures I don't visit for a few days and there's a question for me...

Scale effects are something I've never seen researched or discussed. I think they are a modelling 'convention', like paint chipping or drybrushing.

I suppose one way to look at this is to look at an item from various distances, and see if the color changes.

Atmospheric perspective, discussed in the thread at one stage, is caused by light reflecting off and refracted by water droplets in the air. More moisture, more blur for farther off objects. That's why they're the Smokey Mountains. You don't get this in desert conditions.

So if someone in the desert took a series of photos of objects from various distances, it would give us a way of seeing if there is any 'scale effect'.
