The Film Grain tool in Aperty adds a textured, grainy effect to your portrait, mimicking the look of traditional film photography. This tool is perfect for adding a vintage or artistic feel to your images while allowing you to control the intensity and appearance of the grain.

  • Amount: Controls the overall visibility of the grain effect. Increasing the slider adds more pronounced grain while lowering it makes the effect more subtle. Use this to balance between a fine or strong grain overlay, depending on the desired look.

  • Size: Adjusts the size of the grain particles. Higher values result in larger, more noticeable grain, creating a rough, gritty feel. Lower values produce finer, more delicate grain, perfect for subtle texture enhancement.

  • Roundness: Modifies the shape of the grain particles. Increasing the roundness makes the grain appear smoother and more circular, while lowering the value makes the grain more irregular and sharp-edged, contributing to a rougher, more textured look.

For a classic film effect, use a moderate Amount with a smaller Size and high Roundness to create fine, soft grain. For a bolder, more dramatic look, increase both Size and Amount and experiment with lower Roundness to add a raw, textured feel to your portrait.
