My feelings exactly. If you want the look of film (which is more than just grain) then shoot film. If you want a digital look, shoot digital.
Shel > [Original Message] > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > 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 > > > > The grain structure of Tri-X - or any B&W film for that matter - varies > > with the developer used and the developing technique, including time, > > temperature, and agitation, and, to a greater or lesser degree, the > > exposure.
