How do they do that?

I have been trying to get the effect that the below picture is showing. It is a very grainy effect and I have tried noise and film grain and it just isn't the same. Does anyone know or have a tutorial on how to do this? All the other effects are no problem it's just the grainyness that keeps giving me a problem.

Thanks, B+

Hi and welcome to the forums brianritson.

I would add noise on a separate layer and use an appropriate blend mode (depending upon if you used black or white for your noise background), adjust the opacity. Create more noise layers with larger noise patterns, you may at some stage need to decrease your view from 100% to scale the noise. Increase and decrease opacity as desired.

You can also find film grain actions and the like from the Adobe Exchange and other sites, it's up to you really.

You could even open it in Camera RAW and apply noise effects through the FX panel

beside adding noise, you can duplicate the image, on the duplicate layer make highpass filter (overlay mode), then marge all the layers to a top new one (shift+ctrl+alt+E) put it on softkight or overlay mode.
if the color are to burned make a hue/saturation adjustment layer and saturate it a little bit

this, i think, will had the right contrast to the image

Thanks for the response, I believe I have what I was going for the Highpass works great so does unsharp mask after you add the film grain.

Here is what I got. I can't show you the full image because it's for a movie still in the works but here is a sample of what I got.

Again thanks very much for the great support.
