Thanks for the really good grain simulation and the x-pro action. I tried several actions but your's the best! Best regards from New Zealand, Gudio Good work!

I created a duplicate layer and added photoshop's film grain filter, fairly heavy. And then I stuck it under the original layer and adjusted the opacity on the orginal until it looked right. and then masked over the areas where the film grain filter didn't come off very natural (if I was doing it again, I'd mask the eyes more).

It works great when you are adding new elements into photo and you want to appear that it was originally there. There is something about the perfectness in software produced noise; even though completely random that does not look the same as film grain. The grain was a little more irregular in appearance of grain size. That is why I have several scans of actual film noise (different ISOs) that I can add as a layer for a better representation of film grain.

It was even before adidap but I can't find it at the moment. It was using a different technique. I'll digg it out tonight once I am back home Hey Brian

I guess I had just gotten in the habit of adjusting both since it does make a difference for certain blends such as the "Hard Mix" that I tend to use from time to time (but not for the grain effect).
