Noise—Use It by John Paul Caponigro

Noise.

It happens.

What is it?

Texture not native to the subject photographed, but introduced by the capture medium, editing process or output media.

Layering Noise by John Paul Caponigro

When adding noise to digital files, keep noise separate from the image so you can control both independently of one another.

This allows extraordinary control and flexibility.

When noise is placed on its own layer, you can eliminate or change it at any time, reduce its opacity, localize it, desaturate it, target it into specific channels, move it, scale it, blur it and much more.
