I am trying a new direction in my photography and am wondering what some of the better ways of creating digital "grain" are. Here are my sepcifics: shooting with D200, ususally ISO 100 or 200, mostly landscapes and urban PS CS2 R2400 (K3, papers: VFA and Museo PR), R2200 (K7, Hahnemuehle Museum Etching) I used to shoot Iflord Delta 3200 a few years ago when I was using an FM2 or a FM3a and liked the results. I have tried using the "add noise" function in PS but am rather confused as to the differences between normal and Gaussian and was unable to produce something I liked. I also tried using the ISO 400 setting on a Fred Mirando BWPRO PS add-in I have, but I want more grain than it can produce. Any suggestions? I am unsure whether I should shoot at ISO 1600 in the camera or create grain using other methods in Photoshop. Also, does one sharpen before or after adding grain? Thank you.
