Real film grain files!

Since I posted the "convert to b/w" tutorial I had quite a few requests for my "real"
film grain files. I have fulfilled every request so far, but my bandwith is getting *this* close to its limits. Each grain file is 5MB at highest jpg compression. In order to fund a bandwith update and to keep serving the grain files, I need to charge a small fee of $3.49 per file. Think about it - it's less than a roll of film and you can use the file infinitely.

Once I have received payment via paypal, I will email you a link for the download. I'm not at the computer at all times and it may take me a few hours to create your directory and send you the email. please be patient, during the day (EST) I'll respond right away.

Each file is full frame 35mm, 12.1 MP equivalent and can be used with any digital photo - simply paste the grain into a new layer and set the blending mode to overlay, adjust the opacity to taste. read my great tutorial here
Voila, your digital photo looks as if it was taken with film.

Hi, Markus
Until now I've never gotten my b&w photos to look exactly like they should. I'm so glad I found your site!
