This was just an imitation experiment, but I think I got to fix the
shadows... I really can't remember what I changed, but after too much
tweaking, the strange shadows disappeared.

I added a bit of noise to the image to give it a more "photo" look.

Very simple, but pretty image, I think...

Any comment/suggestion is appreciated.

Fernando.

Honestly, I don't like the noise very much, I think it destroys the
simplicity of the image.

I found that adding Gaussian noise individually to each channel
and twice as much to blue channel duplicated quite accurately
noise in a couple of 6000dpi slide scans. Blue channel is more noisy
in all imaging systems. I scale up the image, add noise, blur a little
to prevent noise aliasing, scale down and mix with original.


Was fresnel and conserve_energy used?

That sounds interesting, at least for simulating electronic scans and
digital camera images. Have you ever given any thought to simulating
film grain?

I think the noise worked well for that purpose. Exactly how did you
add the noise to this image? I wonder if it could be done entirely
within POV-Ray?

Hmm. Isn't the noise from the film grain? What I ment was that the grain
visible at 6000dpi looked very much like blurred Gaussian noise :)

I'm glad you liked it. I added the noise using The Gimp, but I really don't
know if it can be done with POV... I doubt it.

Thanks Glen,

Fernando.

Hi Slime,

My newest post displays a weaker noise, and a noise-less versions. Do you
like them better?

Fernando.

Hi Kari. In my next post, I make a noised version with your technique, I
think it is better. Thanks!

> Was fresnel and conserve_energy used?

No... Actually, I've never used them :-/   Would they help?

Fernando.

if you want the perfect photo use daguerreotype it still has noise but they
are atomic size instead of what is seen in regular film.
