Film Grain

Authentic film grain texture from silver halide crystals

What It Does

Adds authentic film grain texture that mimics the physical silver halide crystals in film emulsion. Different ASA/ISO settings produce different grain characteristics.

How It Affects Your Image

Adds organic, random texture throughout the image
Higher ASA = more visible, coarser grain
Includes subtle color shifts that occur in real film
Breaks up smooth digital gradients for a more analog look
