Re: digital negative possibilities for gum
Keith, I use the same method and it works very well. I usually use a setting for amount of between 8 and 12, but it depends on the image and the image size & resolution. I also set it to Monochromatic and use Uniform. Filter>Noise>Add Noise Oddly enough though, I like this method because it doesn't produce grain in the deeper shadows and blacks—it looks more natural to me.
