I bet that years ago you would be marked down if your print showed
noticable grain, it wass considered a defect to most. Now grain is almost
"evidence" that it is a "real" photo and consequently you see many people
trying to maximize grain. I'm always amused by the people who tell me that
they don't like TMZ because it isn't grainy enough...
