rms Granularity
Read with a microdensitometer using a 48-micrometer
aperture.
The “perception” of the graininess of any film is highly
dependent on scene content, complexity, color, and
density. Other factors, such as film age, processing,
exposure conditions, and telecine transfer may also have
significant effects.
rms Granularity Curve
To find the rms Granularity value for a given density, find
the density on the left vertical scale and follow horizontally
to the characteristic curve and then go vertically (up or
down) to the granularity curve. At that point, follow
horizontally to the Granularity Sigma D scale on the right.
Read the number and multiply by 1000 for the rms value.
Note: This curve represents granularity based on modified
measuring techniques.
Note: Sensitometric and Diffuse RMS Granularity curves
are produced on different equipment. A slight variation in
curve shape may be noticed.
