As I watched and rewatched the test clips with added grain, I thought that this kind of grain plate is too subtle... I mean, grain should not be very noticeable, but only a bit; with the grain plate used until now, it was less than a bit...

So, I decided to test two new grain plates; they are similar, not very different when saw in static images, but quite noticeable in comparison to the old one; I must test them in motion!

opinions?

The new grain plate 2 is the one that is appealing to me more based on those comparisons but I would really have to see them both in motion to accurately say which one I prefer overall.
