Grain was once the nemesis of film photographers. Over the years, some came to 
incorporate it as part of a style or look. Tri-X, at its inception, was 
heralded as a  high-speed film with minimal grain. For years, photographers 
worked to eliminate the grain. Yes, there have been exceptions, and some have 
incorporated a grainy look as part of their artistry. But it seems somewhat 
ludicrous to try to introduce artificial grain in digital photography. I expect 
this will be a short lived pursuit. Digital does many thins well. Grain is not 
one of them. Minimal grain is one of them.
