Thanks for commenting, Darren. I chatted with Denise about her grain workflow preferences. She said, “I usually use the default grain for the selected film preset. Most of the time the default grain is perfect, especially if I am applying a preset to a bunch of images. It is one of the ways that Exposure makes my life easier, and not more complicated.

I tend to go with less grain rather than more if I am working on that one hero image from a shoot. I prefer the look of the regular 25% and 50% grain options rather than Salt and Pepper variety. I came from a world where grain was not a photographers friend. Film companies were always trying to invent faster films with less grain.”
