How Do I Get This Grain?


Recommended Posts

The best technique for adding noise to an image I have seen in PS is the following.<p>

 

1) Create a curves adjustment layer. Have it slightly darken the 3/4 tone and significantly darken the 1/4 tone. (see diagram)<p>

 

2) Then invert the layer mask and add noise (filter->noise->add noise) to the layer mask (this is selected by clicking the area to the right of the green circle in the diagram).<p>

 

3) If you double click where the green circle is, then you can go in and adjust the tonal response of the curves layer mask once the noise is added so that you can adjust the character of the noise you added. <p>

 

4) If it is desired, then you can add an additional curves layer mask to add noise which lightens the image using this same technique.<p><div>00Ac7i-21148684.thumb.jpg.f3192b81ce027badd8c5b2db9ad88729.jpg</div>
