In this quick tutorial I am going to show you, how to add some character to your photos by using film grain. This effect is going to give your pictures a cinematic look.

In my example pictures I've turned the grain a bit too high as you may have noticed, that's the reason, why it doesn't look good at all, but if you keep it decent, then you will get a good result.

1. Start Photoshop and create a new file with the picture you want to have the film grain on.
   


2. Add a new layer, IMPORTANT: The layer should be grey, hex code is #808080.
   


3. Convert the new layer into a Smart object (right click on layer -> "Convert into a smart object).
   


4. Put the layer mode of the added layer to overlay, so the layer shouldn't be visible anymore.
   


5. Now add the grain (Filter -> Noise filter -> Add noise)
   


6. The chosen amount depends on the size of your picture. For reference, the example picture had a size of 3264x1616 and I took the amount 12, which was obiously a little bit too high.
   Normally I would've taken an amount like 6-8.
   


7. Also put a tick on monochromatic - this will make your noise black/white instead of colourish. 
   


8. And there you go, you're done.  🤗
   

I hope you liked the quick tutorial. If there are any questions, feel free to ask me about it.  😉

Thanks mate! I used this in an AVI, to be honest, cuz I was looking like a week ago or something and I saw your tutorial, and now I remembered it, so I came back here.

Thanks again!
