Add grain to photo.
Texture you can dial in.

Grain is texture, not damage.

Film grain comes from the tiny silver crystals or dye clouds that make up a photograph on film. Faster films use bigger crystals, so a 400-speed roll looks rougher than a slow one. Digital noise is different: it is random electrical variation on a sensor, and it tends to show up as colored speckle in dark areas. Adding either to a clean digital photo gives it a hand-made, less sterile feel.

This tool adds grain to your photo and nothing else. It does not shift the colors, fade the blacks or change the contrast, so it fits as the last step after you have finished your other edits. Three controls shape the texture. Amount sets how strong it is. Size sets how large each grain is relative to the picture, which is why a coarse setting looks the same on a small preview and a full-size export. Color noise blends from neutral grey grain, like black and white film, toward the multicolored speckle of a digital sensor.

Grain cannot add real detail or rescue a blurry photo. At a small size it may seem to sharpen a soft image, but it is simply texture. If you want a full film look with color, fade and flash, pair it with the vintage filter, the disposable camera filter or the matching Stunna preset.
