It seems Adobe did use the Grain Surgery plug-ins by rolling them into After Effects, something I cannot verify as I don’t use that application. If they were re-written in Universal Binary, I wonder if they can be carried over to Photoshop?
[Unfortunately there's very little that can be moved between the architectures, especially now that we have to move to Cocoa and 64-bit. I think it would almost inevitably be faster to rewrite the plug-ins from scratch now. --J.]

What is baffling to me about the grain issue, is that the undisputed best tool for adding, matching or removing grain for years has been Grain Surgery by Visual Infinity, and Adobe acquired Grain Surgery from Visual Infinity some time ago, only to shelve it.
We know nothing about Adobe’s plans for Grain Surgery.

Any comments on this, Mr. Nack—some 18 months later?
Grain Surgery runs perfectly well hosted by CS4 on my PowerPC machine. I’m very happy for the time being, but this would keep me from buying a Mac-Intel machine if I should win the lottery. :-)
[I'm afraid I don't have anything to announce on that front. --J.]

Truegrain doesn’t come anywhere near Grain Surgery.

Maybe the Truegrain guys used tubes instead of transistors when making their software, I don’t know.
