Digital BW, The Print

I'm sure no pro, but I've been using Exposure

http://www.alienskin.com/

It allows you to duplicate the grain and other paramaters of many 
b&w as well as color films. They have a 1 month demo to be 
downloaded. For my purposes (again far from professional) it's been 
a highly useful program.

In this digital world, flexibility is really the answer. While I can 
proudly say, "film is dead", I 
completely empathize with Tyler's love of film grain for a "specific 
look". Sure, film is 
relatively cheap to shoot, but then you have to process it, then 
scan it. . . the workflow 
with a digital camera is so-o-o much easier and quicker. 


Wouldn't it be great if someone like Andromeda software 
(http://andromeda.com/main/
photoshop.php) could be talked into developing a grain filter that 
would satisfy the likes 
of Tyler, as Ernst has suggested? Then you could shoot digital, get 
creamy grain-free color 
images, then convert to B&W apply the grain filter to achieve 
exactly the kind of look you 
want.
