FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
What is the difference between grain and noise?
Film grain has organic, natural patterns created by light-sensitive silver particles. Digital noise is random and harsh. Our grain simulates authentic film characteristics rather than adding artificial noise.
How much grain should I add?
Start subtle and increase gradually. For most photos, visible but not distracting grain works best. Vintage effects may warrant heavier grain, while portraits often benefit from lighter application.
Can I choose different grain types?
Yes, we offer multiple grain patterns inspired by various film stocks. Each creates a distinct texture and character suited to different photographic styles.
Will grain make my image look lower quality?
When applied thoughtfully, grain adds character rather than degrading quality. It should enhance mood and texture without making images appear damaged or poorly captured.
