This is really useful... I know you have not uploaded anything for a while but it would be greatly appreciated if you could upload the colour grain tutorial you mentioned in this video... hope you are well... thank you...
Deserves a larger following but the fashion seems to be for pixel count, brand cult & gadgets. Shame, cos this is one channel where you come to talk about the art of photography more than physics.
Thank you so much Graham - unfortunately we are painfully aware that we don't cater to the high subscriber end... to our detriment... we will however do our best to keep content true with integrity.
dphog I much rather see quality content than senseless videos for the sake of likes and subscriptions. Keep doing what you have been doing: staying true to the love of photography. Cheers!
Good video as always. You should be aware though, that pixel level detail such as grain looks a lot different for the viewer (because of resizing and video compression) compared to what you see while recording. Keep that in mind :)
Will you be doing a video on how to apply to colour? I'm guessing you would use a color depth map and then convert that to black and white , overlay and then the usual speckle and gausian blur??
Thanks for your reply. This may sound like a stupid question but if a person isn't familiar with film, then how do you know what to look for in a grain i.e. whether it's a 'good' grain or not, or is it just a matter of taste ? Thanks again.
Grain has an organic look, it is not a regular same sized dot like noise filter properties. Very basically it is a chemical reaction between the developer and the silver particles on the emulsion layer. Google some images of real film grain overlays to give you a better visual idea. Other than that it is very much a matter of your own taste - just be carefull though - the more grain the less detail and focus is the general rule.
This one is just to save those people still using the PS noise filter! Is lightroom's grain good? I use Capture One and only in version 10 their grain became quite good.

First grain technique that looks good. I found that using a large grain and reducing the opacity gives a nice effect.
Agreed, that is why I leave my action open - no flatten layer at the end - then I tweak
Excellent! Looking forward to grain for color.
Excelent teacher. I will suscribe
When is the color grain tutorial coming?

Excellent video. Liking the variety in the channel.
Congrats on the 2K followers!
Thanks Tony

Yeah, we did keep video compression in mind. Unfortunately, there are a few things you can't avoid.
I discovered only now this amazing channel! There will be others videos in future?
How do you try to simulate grain that effects both highlight, midtone & low tones in the various ways that you find it in film?
Brilliant! I could never get my B&W to have the grain of film.
pretty cool :) thanks for share

Hi Tom, the colour video will be coming soon.
Any update on that colour film video?
Great tutorial. Have you ever used the film grain from a plugin like Alien Skin Exposure ?
Thanks. I used Alien Skin about 20 years ago haha... Haven't tried their grain plugin.

Thanks for your help.
I made my own action that does this exact process like a week ago. lol
Cool way, normally I add my grain in lightroom.

Thnx!

good！
Thank you.
