In Photoshop, try converting to LAB color space, then use either a Gaussian blur or the median noise filter to the A and B channels as they do not contain too much detail, then apply dust and scratches to the L channel.

I rated it at ISO1250 to be on the safe side. The available light shots are nice and moody, and the grain is interesting on some of the shots, but on others I wish I'd used a finer grained film. > > I had the film scanned to PhotoCD, and I'm wondering whether anyone knows of a way to reduce the appearance of grain digitally? Sharpen only adds to the grainy look. Smoothing helps, but is there a better way? I'm using PhotoMAX Pro, and sometimes Photoshop 5.0. > > Pat White > - > This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, > go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
