Title: Wood grain
Post by: Hildegarde on February 14, 2017, 22:57

Wood grain is not the same thing as grain noise.

Grain was the tern used in BW film photo, generally from film shot at high ASA.
Digital photos shot with low ISO (200 ISO or below) in lower contrast light with no shadows or dark areas and no PS manipulation other than to remove dust spot -- not noisy.

At least it was a rejection that made me laugh.  Oh well.

It's sad that wood grain is not the same thing as grain noise?

It is sad that some people cannot distinguish between the two types of grain.

At least it made me laugh.... which is a good thing-- have friends in hospital now...so I do appreciate the laugh.

It wasn't really clear what you were saying, but now you've edited it to indicate you had a photo rejected due to grain... it makes more sense!

It just sounded like you were making a general observation that wood and photos aren't the same thing... which kind of goes without saying!

Paper grain is also not digital noise, some reviewers doesn't know that either.

I had an image rejected once because the review thought they saw something that looked like steam or fog or something covering part of the models face.

yep - that's exactly what they saw - it was a steam therapy at a spa. ;)

I've added grain to enhance an image only to have it turned down for "Lack of aesthetic"  :)
