A Different Film Grain Effect With Photoshop

I felt that the Black & White Infrared Effect achieved with Lightroom 2 needed a helping hand with a little film grain. So, with this in mind I am going to teach you a new way to add noise to a Black & White image using Adobe Photoshop CS4, that is first of all non-destructive and secondly emulates actual film grain really well. Enjoy!

The image above contains 2 film grain layers as well as another scratch layer thats built from a similar layer filled with 50% grey but thats another screencast for another day. So remember to experiment with the amount of initial noise and the size you transform it to, until you get a level of film grain that suits your images. Enjoy! >
