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?

 

Very interesting. Please test them in motion.

Actually, I just overlaid the grain plate to the image, but it improved a bit contrast and brightness as consequence!

I've noticed that the two new grain plates you tested boost the contrast even more. I have the feeling that it's a little bit too much contrast now. We don't want black crush to occur. It's difficult to judge contrast levels from one frame only though.
