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. Paul
