Sometimes I'll overlay a grain pattern, supposed to be TMAX but with a
bit of play with the layer it can look kind of like Tri-X, on my B&W
conversions. It's funny but it seems to bring out detail where it's
been minimized by the digital process. Sometimes I miss film,. but
don't feel like messing around with the chemicals.

Over the past several years I've scanned and reviewed earlier scanned
images I've made. There is something about them that's undefinable
and draws me to them over my digitally captured images.
I can't say what it is. Possibly a sense of being closer to reality,
in the same vein that I recognize an analog record as sounding better
than a CD? Possibly the smoothness of film across the dynamic range?
I don't know.
Unless I were able to take side-by-side film vs. digitally captured
images in the same format, using the same lens, it would be difficult
to make an objective comparison.
So subjectively, as far as image quality is concerned, I'm tending to
lean towards film... though it's obviously a dead end.
I hope to scan quite a number of film images captured from the past
ten years and subjectively, of course, compare them to my overall
sense of digitally captured images.
Partially responsible for making me think along these lines, is a
recent advert from Alien Skin Exposure 2, a film simulator plug-in.

Does anyone have any experience with it?
