----- Original Message ----- From: Pat White Subject: too much grain?!?
> Recently, I did a fashion/glamour shoot with my favorite model, and used Fuji HG1600 for the first time. I rated it at ISO1250 to be on the safe side. The available light shots are nice and moody, and the grain is interesting on some of the shots, but on others I wish I'd used a finer grained film. > > I had the film scanned to PhotoCD, and I'm wondering whether anyone knows of a way to reduce the appearance of grain digitally? Sharpen only adds to the grainy look. Smoothing helps, but is there a better way? I'm using PhotoMAX Pro, and sometimes Photoshop 5.0. > > Pat White In photoshop, copy the image to a new layer, apply a lot of gaussian blur to that layer, then reduce the opacity of the blurred layer until you like what you see. You can also erase the layer where you want the image to be sharp. It may not do exactly what you want, but it is worth a try. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
