Film Grain

Add photographic grain with size, amount and colour options.

Silver halide crystals made photographic grain; dye clouds made colour grain. Both were once treated as flaws and later as texture that keeps a digital image from looking sterile.

Size, amount and colour decide whether grain reads as fine 35 mm grit or larger 16 mm chatter.
