This is the way I do in in PS. 1. Add a new layer and fill it with 50% gray (RGB 128,128,128) Set the layer blend mode to overlay 2. Use Filter/Noise/Add Noise Tick Gaussian + Monochromatic. 3. Adjust noise amount to taste I usually end up with anything between 0.5% to 15%. This naturally

I don't know about applying grain, but I like this shot a lot. And I would go back to RAW and pull down the highlights. You're getting some burn out in the brighter parts of the face. You can do that without deepening the shadows a lot if you work the conversion. Paul On Feb 26, 2008, at

I actually have a grain sample, can't remember where I got it, I usually create a second layer paste it into that and adjust the blending, opacity and fill, sometimes curves on just that layer to get the grain effect I'm looking for. It's not always effective but works well other times. Done
