I've been a pure silver member for a number of years and one theme that
doesn't seem to go away is the constant complaint about grain. Et Disco just
referred to it in response to a thread about Fuji Neopan 100 SS. What is it
about grain that makes most of you so un-happy. It is probably the only
element in silver based photography that keeps images from looking like
digital capture. So, it makes me wonder why so many of you try so hard to
find a way to eliminate it. In case you're wondering, I love grain. I can't
get enough of it. Most of my work flow is commercial and digital. One of the
things I work hardest at is making digital files look like they were shot
using film. Adding grain that looks realistic is a big part of the process.
My clients all respond positively to digital images that are perceived
visually to be silver based. I'm genuinely curious about this issue, so
please don't misinterpret this email as a challenge on any level. Tell me
why grain is so bad.
