LX-2 @ 400asa; ACR vs. Silkypix

ski542002 · 02/18/07, 05:23 AM

I processed this LX-2 file shot at 400asa in ACR and Silkypix. Like the noise, but I also wanted to see what Silkypix could do to minimize it. Still an experiment.

What can I say? I like it better with the noise, which I would call "grain". But I do like SILKYPIX and have bought it recently.

Looks like the Silkypix is doing a great job !

Cheers,

However I really like the dramatic effect of the grainy one !

Hello:

I do think the noise looks much like a TriX neg processed in Rodinol, an old Agfa developer. I like the grain, but for a subject such as this, where the main subject is very smooth, and metallic, the lack of grain works well for me.

I've yet to try SilkyPix on a 400asa street-image, for instance. For some reason, I'm feeling SilkyPix would not look as appealing in that instance.
