I too appreciate grain. One of the problems that I have with grainless
images, say those produced using microfilm, is that they don't look
sharp. They usually look blurry, while grain tricks the eye into
perceiving sharpness.

Subject: [pure-silver] Grain
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.
