Re: Creating grain

2007-10-22 by Gary Weaver

Hi pglombick,

I've been playing with noise the past few months. I'm mostly trying to
get film to look like film, but I started out by seeing what was
possible with perfect digital images.

The only paths that have really worked for me are plug-in Photo Effect
"filters". I have yet to run across something to simulate fine grain
sharpness.

In my case, severe pre-filter mucking about gives me an edge. However,
I don't want pics to look like they came off some assembly line and
they are all different.

Years ago, I had some fun doing downtown as high contrast copy film.

Good luck!!!
