I absolutely love your clear explanations and the way you go over everything step by step! This was super helpful. Love the grain in my images right now.

really nice idea with the custom grain size simulating real film grain! exactly what i was looking for, thanks a lot

[stevemurphy]

Thank you Olivio. You answered many "how to" questions for me ;-)

[worldinmyeyes]

You made my day. That was exactly the solution I was looking for since a long time, because of the fine grain problem with the regular layer. Many thanks

Thank you so much! Affinity is the best and this video is a game changer for me as a newer user who has really been getting into the program for both design and photo editing

I’ve been doing this with overlay blend mode, It’s never quite looked right and now I know why. I’ll be experimenting with these two new blend modes. I saved my noise layer as an asset with a very slight blur to soften the edges a little, I’ll be trying out the scale trick to see if I get a better result . Thanks for the new ideas 😄

Quite litterally everything I needed to know. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this "how to transform noise in film grain"

Great Video Olivio! Is it possible to do a video over Half-tones - like those done in Newspapers and Comic books? Mainly, on how to create them and how to apply them in various styles and images. Thank you, I appreciate it!

[enriqueferrer]

Greta vídeo!!! My problem is when i apply this method the brightness of the image change, in this case to darker 😢

[davidmonteiro]

hello Olivio, it would also be great to see a tutorial on matching a CG (computer generated plate) to a photo back plate, regarding Noise, lighting and colors. Thank you !

I don't know if it's just me, but in Affinity Photo 2.5.5 (latest as of now, Windows version), the "Add noise" live filter doesn't actually do anything to a fill layer. Works fine on a rectangle, but no effect on fill layer. Can anyone else replicate or is it a weird edge case bug with my install?

[DerEggen]

Your channel is great, I came here for AI but I use Affinity as well, so this is pure gold for me. Your way to explain is very nice and easy to follow!

[jean-claudemuller]

When I create a noise live filter from the blue rectangle layer I get a noise child level from the rectangle layer, not a separate layer !
What have I done wrong ?

[umutdrss]

Is there a way to do this from the phone?

As a newbie, it would of been nice to know why I would want to add noise to certain photos.

Just yesterday I was looking around affinity photo for this, and here it is… scary !

That's really great, but i’m only doing basic hahaha... Sadly my clients woudn’t see the difference
