Re: [Digital BW] removing grain from shadows
2004-02-16 by Bob Frost
Richard, Have you tried scanning at 8x or 16x ? It takes much longer but averaging multiple scans gets rid of most of the electronic noise which is random and therefore won't appear in each scan. If that is not good enough for you, try Neat Image. If you use it with History in PS you can just apply it to the shadows and leave the rest if you like the grain/noise. Bob Frost.

----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Smallfield" <r.smallfield@...> Hello, since I got my *wonderful* Minolta SE5400, I find that every bit of grain is visible. That's good, but in the shadows, it makes it hard to get solid blacks, as there are white specks of grain in there. I've tried burning in the shadows, but sometimes this isn't practical. I've been given a Canon G5 and it's great the way the shadows merge into total black. I wish I could do that with film. Any ideas?
