Film Grain Tutorial
Peter has been experimenting shooting with film recently, but is finding it too time consuming and costly, but he still loves the grain look from film. As a workaround, he has developed a way to make his digital work look like film by adding the grain in Photoshop, and in this tutorial he shoes you how he does that.

Thank you – these files create quite a pleasing impact.
I’ve teased around with film grain on some photos in the past, but this looks brilliant. Can’t wait to give them a play. Cheers!
Excellent and inspiring. one question. After adding the grain, do you still use sharpening with high pass (0.4) for social media at the end?
no I don’t like sharpening grain
This is cool, and it answered my question without the need to ask. as to how you actually take the film pictures in studio. time to finish my roll of 36 HP5 Plus film off and drop off to development.
Awesome, enjoy
Thanks for Sharing. Can’t wait to play.
No worries, hope you enjoy
Hey Peter…dumb question but how do you drag the film grain overlay onto the image? I thought maybe it was just open as another image but I didn’t see a tab for it among the open files in your Photoshop. Thanks! Can’t wait to try these!!
Yes I just dragged the film grain from the folder over the image in photoshop
Awesome…..thanks so much!
