You mean "the kodachrome 25" thread. I'd not been reading that one.

Simulating film textures and such in digital images is amuzing,  
but calling it

"near film quality" indicates once again an evident prejudice.


Prejudice?  Maybe a little.  But I do use my DS frequently.
So it's not a medium prejudice in an exclusive sense.
But maybe a little bit elitist.  :)
Have you ever made a 4x5 or 8x10 contact?


Yes, many times, but not for quite a number of years. My last stint  
with view camera sized negatives was in the early 1980s.


I always found working with view cameras to be fun but they're not  
generally my preference for most of the subject matter I prefer.  
Contact prints and enlargements from such large negatives can be very  
nice, of course.

I have no idea what "adding skins to make digital images look like  
film" means. Can you explain?

Adding skins to make digital images look like film.

What shall we call it?
Does that make it "Near Film Quality"?

Now where's my Nagaoka?
