Adding noise or grain to a color image requires a very subtly way of reducing the effect in the highlight and shadow areas. The layers "Blend if" feature, works so well at this, it produces a softer effect which in my opinion is very much needed to create the correct illusion of noise or grain.
I love this effect and use it nearly all the time on my images, I love digital cameras but hate the sterile image they create, this just helps to create a more organic feel to my image that I really like.
I hope you enjoy,
Guy
