@warzan, what kind of resin are you using (as in what brand/type)? What are your settings?

I’m just at the bottom of 1l bottle of elegoo’s own transparent resin and can’t really see if any details being lost on my prints, I doubt any are. I’m set at 50s exposure per first layer and 10s on following layers. The only issue I ran into is that the resin sometimes has problems with retaining ideal geometry on large, flat surfaces, but I don’t think any coloured resin would do much better here.

What I noticed, however, is that the longer you cure it (specifically under strong UV light, after printing), the less transparent it becomes.

If any of you is interested I may upload some photos of printed models (I believe I have some unpainted prints).
