Question 1

What is the difference between film grain and digital noise?

Accepted Answer

Film grain simulates the silver halide crystals in analog film, applying varying intensity across highlights and shadows. It produces a more natural, organic texture than uniform digital noise.

Question 2

What intensity level looks natural?

Accepted Answer

10–20% intensity gives a subtle film feel. 40%+ recreates the look of older, faster film stocks. Adjust based on your content and artistic intent.

Question 3

Does it work on black and white images?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Adding grain to a black-and-white photo enhances the classic analog monochrome look.

Question 4

Is the original resolution preserved?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Grain is applied as an overlay at the original resolution without any downscaling.

Question 5

Can I choose between color grain and monochrome grain?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose between luma noise (monochrome grain) and chroma noise (color grain). Luma noise is recommended for the most natural film look.
