madnuke Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Ok I was talking to a photographer he said that with digital everything is made into pixels, so you can't have real curved lines unlike 35 mm. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiWanToby Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 0 O look pretty curved to me :p They are made of pixils. I guess I can see what he is saying, it may be true. There isn't any true curve, but why does it matter? If you look close at a curved image, it is just pixils. I attatched one. There is color around it because of cleartype, just pay attention to the black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterish Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 He's kind of right, since any line on a digital image is technically made up of square blocks. However, 35mm film images are also made of blocks, individual photosensitive molecules! :D So they're essentially the same thing, except the film blocks are much MUCH smaller than the digital blocks.

Shetland Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 yeah basically in order to match a 35mm film's quality you'd need a very very high resolution digital photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this true? Film images also consist of dots, either sharp ones in case of classic b/w or blurry blobs in case of colour. It's just that they're not organised in a grid.

Great question, never thought about that. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaekwad2 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Well he's right about the first part, but film won't give you "true lines" (whether straight or curved) either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
