Digital BW, The Print

Doug;

One of my students wanted to get a grain effect in some B&W images that he'd captured 
digitally. He shot a roll of B&W film, lightly (under) exposing the film to an out-of-focus card 
and then scanned that and used it as a separate layer in Photoshop. He had to play with the 
apply modes and opacity a bit, but it was a cheap and reusable way to get a grain effect. It 
worked well and, by golly, even looked like real film grain! ;-)
