Film Grain

The Film Grain pain contains the amount control which adds simulated Film Grain (noise) to your image. Adding a modest amount of Film Grain can make your image appear sharper visually and can help hide imperfections like JPG artifacts. This is especially useful for monochrome images. Film Grain should only be added at the same time as Sharpening, just before printing. If you need to do other retouching or compositing work in Photoshop after resizing your image you should disable the Film Grain controls. To add Film Grain to your image follow these steps: Zoom in on your image to 1:1. You can do this easily by using the 1:1 Zoom preset located in the Navigator pane. Enable the Film Grain controls by toggling the on/off control in the Film Grain pane title bar. Adjust the slider up or down until the desired amount of Film Grain is added. You can preview just the effect of the Film Grain by toggling the Film Grain on/off control.
