Grain

Grain

Film grain is a unique attribute of analog media. The size, frequency, and characteristics of different film grain comes from the quality of the film stock itself.

• When digitally applied, grain adds a visual texture that gives an organic feel.
• Mimics the the look and feel of film, and can contribute to a more natural result when combined with AI model enhancement.
• Adds a creative touch to otherwise clean digitally captured footage.
• Grain is also used to mask banding patterns or low quality footage.

Similar to Grain, Noise is a fine digital sandy textured artifact that is a result of the image sensor.
