I am looking to extract natural noise from a photographs material and create a black and white layer out of it, but I am new to photoshop and unsure how to proceed with this.

For example, here is a photograph of a hard plastic gun.


For instance the hard plastic noise from the gun, might look like this once extracted and done correctly.


Any ideas on how to produce something such as this?

Thank you

Desaturate the image.
Use the Image Levels adjustment to highlight the differences in the gun noise.

Will need to use pattern making filter if the plan is to use noise on another object. Otherwise visible edges will be present.

The lighting on the gun isn't even, so its going to be difficult to get a good chunk of noise that is not graduated from the light.

I wouldn't even bother. Just use the noise filter to generate the density you need and use blend modes and transparency to get it right.
