I think making one process to look like another is a fundamental skill in our art. It happens all over the place: the beaker people, for example, (they made beakers in the Stone Age from clay as a series of rings) later turned to bronze beakers but they were made to look like the ringed clay beakers. The "potters' wheel" came later. I once lived in a Stone Age community in the great pine forest of Siberia, they preferred stone axes and the one steel Russian axe was so precious that it was never used and served as a sculpture as a decoration standing with part of its shaft buried in the earth floor. I like the fine grain and soft tones of panatomic x and the grainy effect of pushed tri-x to 32000 ISO. There is nothing like grain to make an art form.

Why on earth would anyone want to simulate films? A. They are doing a publication layout using a mixed bunch of image formats and media and want all to have the same look or style.
