I strongly suggest you using a blur effect from the filter gallery to create noise, because it's more realistic in my opinion. You blur the gray layer and then apply field blur with any strength, then tweak the noise roughness, size and color. But I do prefer Add Grain from After Effects still, cause it's even better. Nice tutorial though, been doing that for years.
@@ikbo I'd love to try Fusion at some point-I've been hearing nothing but great things about it. Unfortunately, there are only so many hours in the day!
Instead of going around the houses making layers and changing blend modes - try this easier way! Option-click the New Layer icon/Name Layer/Pick Overlay (from the mode menu)/Select Fill with Overlay-neutral colour) - OK Now you have a layer that is named, filled with the perfect grey and I ready for the noise - You could make it into a smart object but TBH, there really isn't much of a time saving or need.
Now that we're on the subject of modal dialogs: Is there a way to navigate those and select things with the keyboard? For example picking the overlay mode without having to click with the mouse. Every time I tried to find a workaround I just gave up and used the mouse, but there must be a way!

I even had PS action with this setup. You can also mix more than one layer with different settings to make it more complex.
Now I have to give the blur method a try! Never ending experimentation!
have you tried adding noise and blur in fusion which has a more node based workflow?

Its funny we try so hard to have a noise-free image when we render, and then we re-add the noise after in Photoshop.
haha so true!
