Film Grain

Authentic film grain (ASA 100-3200)

Film Grain effect example

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
