Subject: Re: PP: Digital Grain
I would tend agree with that. Which is why I was surpassed to see actions at
Adobe to add grain to digital photos. So I was wondering what the results
might be. Thanks to Juan I now have some idea.
But it does seem like an immense waste of time and counterproductive too.
Since one of the really nice things about digital is the non-graininess.
OTOH, when doing art, the appearance of a drawing, say, can quite different
based on the quality paper used -- coarseness, etc. That would be a nice option
in digital. I just don't know how practical it is. No clue, really.
In the early days of photography, photographers would commit all sorts of butchery to their negatives to make the resulting images look more like paintings.
Eventually, photography grew up and became an accepted medium.
Adding grain to digital is along the same mindset.
