Any version of Photoshop will work, but if you're using Photoshop CS3 or higher (I'll be using Photoshop CS5), we'll also see how to keep the film grain effect fully editable using Smart Filters which were first introduced in CS3. For Photoshop CS2 and earlier users, simply skip over the Smart Filters steps and you'll have no problem completing the effect. It just won't be editable when you're done.<\/p>\n<p style=\"clear:both;\">Here's the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fotolia.com\/partner\/202479569\">image<\/a> I'll be using for this tutorial:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/horses.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of horses.

Normally, to add a new layer, we simply click on the <strong>New Layer<\/strong> icon at the bottom of the <a href=\"\/basics\/layers\/layers-panel\/\">Layers panel<\/a> and Photoshop adds a new blank layer for us, but we need to fill our new layer with gray and change its blend mode, so let's do all of these things at once using the New Layer dialog box. Hold down your <strong>Alt<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Option<\/strong> (Mac) key and click on the <strong>New Layer<\/strong> icon:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/photoshop-new-layer-icon.gif\" alt=\"Clicking the New Layer icon in the Layers panel in Photoshop.\" width=\"272\" height=\"238\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Hold down Alt (Win) \/ Option (Mac) and click on the New Layer icon.<\/div>\n<p>Holding down Alt (Win) \/ Option (Mac) when clicking on the New Layer icon tells Photoshop to pop open the New Layer dialog box before the layer is added. Name the new layer <strong>Film grain<\/strong> at the top of the dialog box, then change the <strong>Mode<\/strong> to <strong>Overlay<\/strong> and select the <strong>Fill with Overlay-neutral color (50% gray)<\/strong> option directly below it by clicking inside the checkbox:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/photoshop-new-layer-dialog-box.gif\" alt=\"The New Layer dialog box in Photoshop.\" width=\"495\" height=\"191\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The New Layer dialog box.<\/div>\n<p>Click OK when you're done to close out of the dialog box. Nothing will appear to happen to the image in the document window, but if we look in the Layers panel, we see that Photoshop has added a new layer named \"Film grain\" above the Background layer. The layer is set to the Overlay blend mode for us, and we can see in the layer's <strong>preview thumbnail<\/strong> to the left of the layer's name that the layer is filled with 50% gray (the shade of gray directly between black and white). The reason we can't see the gray in the document is because the Overlay blend mode makes areas of 50% gray transparent. You don't need to understand that to complete this effect, but  check out our <a href=\"..\/..\/photo-editing\/layer-blend-modes\/\">Five Essential Blend Modes For Photo Editing<\/a> tutorial if you want to learn more:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/film-grain-layer.gif\" alt=\"A new 'Film grain' layer has been added to the document.\" width=\"273\" height=\"253\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The new \"Film grain\" layer now sits above the image on the Background layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 2: Convert The New Layer Into A Smart Object<\/h3>\n<p>If you're using Photoshop CS2 or earlier, you can skip this step. For Photoshop CS3 and newer users, click on the small <strong>menu icon<\/strong> in the top right corner of the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/menu-icon.gif\" alt=\"Clicking the Layers panel menu icon.\" width=\"285\" height=\"170\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click on the menu icon.<\/div>\n<p>Select <strong>Convert to Smart Object<\/strong> from the menu that appears:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/convert-to-smart-object.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Convert to Smart Object option from the Layers panel menu.\" width=\"249\" height=\"132\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Select \"Convert to Smart Object\" from the Layers panel menu.<\/div>\n<p>Again, nothing will seem to happen in the document window, but a small icon appears in the lower right corner of the Film grain layer's preview thumbnail letting us know that the layer has been converted into a Smart Object. This means that any filters we apply to the layer will be added as <strong>Smart Filters<\/strong> and will remain fully editable even after the effect is complete, as we'll see later:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/smart-object-icon.gif\" alt=\"A Smart Object icon appears in the layer's preview thumbnail.\" width=\"272\" height=\"194\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">A small Smart Object icon appears in the preview thumbnail for the Film grain layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 3: Apply The Add Noise Filter<\/h3>\n<p>Go up to the <strong>Filter<\/strong> menu in the Menu Bar along the top of the screen, choose <strong>Noise<\/strong>, then choose <strong>Add Noise<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/filter-noise-add-noise.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Add Noise filter in Photoshop.\" width=\"398\" height=\"129\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise.<\/div>\n<p>This opens the Add Noise dialog box. The noise we add here will become our film grain. Drag the <strong>Amount<\/strong> slider towards the right to increase the amount of noise being applied to the image. An Amount value of around <strong>10%<\/strong> usually works well, but it's always a good idea to keep an eye on your document window as you drag the slider to determine the value that works best for your image. Make sure the <strong>Gaussian<\/strong> and <strong>Monochromatic<\/strong> options are selected at the bottom of the dialog box:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/photoshop-add-noise-filter.gif\" alt=\"The Add Noise filter dialog box in Photoshop.\" width=\"364\" height=\"200\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Use the Amount slider to adjust the amount of noise in the image.<\/div>\n<p>Click OK when you're done to close out of the Add Noise dialog box. Here's a close-up of my image to help make it easier to see the noise that's been added:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/image-noise-added.jpg\" alt=\"The image after adding noise.\" width=\"581\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image after adding noise.<\/div>\n<p>If you converted the Film grain layer into a Smart Object back in Step 2, you'll see the Add Noise filter listed as a Smart Filter below the Film grain layer in the Layers panel. We'll come back to it shortly:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/add-noise-layers-panel.gif\" alt=\"The Add Noise filter appears as a Smart Filter in the Layers panel.\" width=\"272\" height=\"199\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Layers panel now shows the Add Noise filter as a Smart Filter.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 4: Apply The Gaussian Blur Filter<\/h3>\n<p>The noise looks a bit too harsh for our film grain effect so let's soften it by blurring it slightly. Go back up to the <strong>Filter<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen and this time choose <strong>Blur<\/strong>, then choose <strong>Gaussian Blur<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/filter-blur-gaussian-blur.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Gaussian Blur filter in Photoshop.\" width=\"374\" height=\"163\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur.<\/div>\n<p>Set the <strong>Radius<\/strong> value at the bottom of the dialog box to around <strong>0.5 pixels<\/strong>. That should be enough to soften the noise without making it too blurry:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/gaussian-blur-filter.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Gaussian Blur filter in Photoshop.\" width=\"343\" height=\"145\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur.<\/div>\n<p>Click OK  to close out of the dialog box, and we're done! We now have our simulated film grain added to the image:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/simulated-film-grain.jpg\" alt=\"Photoshop simulated film grain.\" width=\"604\" height=\"450\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The effect after softening the noise.<\/div>\n<h3>Fine-Tuning The Results<\/h3>\n<p>If you find that the film grain is too intense, one way to fine-tune the effect is by lowering the opacity of the Film grain layer. You'll find the <strong>Opacity<\/strong> option in the top right corner of the Layers panel. The further you lower the opacity, the more the original image below it will show through:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/layer-opacity.gif\" alt=\"Lowering the opacity of the Film grain layer.\" width=\"273\" height=\"193\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Lower the opacity of the Film grain layer to reduce the intensity of the effect.<\/div>\n<p>Another way to make the film grain appear more subtle is by changing the blend mode of the Film grain layer from Overlay to <strong>Soft Light<\/strong>, which is a lower contrast version of the Overlay blend mode:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/soft-light-blend-mode.gif\" alt=\"Changing the blend mode of the Film grain layer to Soft Light.\" width=\"286\" height=\"193\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Changing the blend mode to Soft Light will also lower the intensity of the effect.<\/div>\n<p>Finally, if you're using Photoshop CS3 or newer and you've been adding your filters as Smart Filters as I have, you can re-open the filter dialog boxes at any time and make changes to fine-tune the effect without any loss of image quality. You'll see the names of the filters that we used listed below the Film grain layer in the Layers panel. To re-open either of them, simply <strong>double-click<\/strong> on the filter's name. For example, I'll double-click on the Add Noise filter:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/add-noise.gif\" alt=\"Re-opening the Add Noise smart filter from the Layers panel in Photoshop.\" width=\"272\" height=\"218\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Re-opening the Add Noise Smart Filter by double-clicking on its name in the Layers panel.<\/div>\n<p>Photoshop re-opens the filter's dialog box for me, allowing me to adjust the Amount value to add more or less noise to the image. When I'm done, I can just click OK to once again close the filter's dialog box. Smart Filters are a great recent addition to Photoshop and one of many reasons to consider upgrading if you're still using CS2 or earlier:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/film-grain\/add-noise-changes.gif\" alt=\"Making changes to the Add Noise Smart Filter in Photoshop.\" width=\"342\" height=\"227\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">You can go back and adjust the amount of noise at any time thanks to Smart Filters.<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-bottom { width:300px; padding-top:16px;padding-bottom:16px; }\n<\/style><div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 page bottom responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-bottom\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2879809098\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n\t data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<aside>\n<p>And there we have it!
