This is Mark Tucker's adding grain technique:

Convert your image to 8bit, from 16. Do a New Layer (only from the layer menu), in Overlay 
mode. Check the box for "Fill with...50% Gray". Then take that Layer and go to 
Filters>Artistic>Film Grain, and enter 3/0/0. 

When it completes that, Gaussian Blur that Layer slightly, like 0.3; very tiny. Then drop 
Opacity of that Layer to taste.
