Grain Note that the choice of a film triggers the application of the corresponding color profile; the grain will only be applied if the box "Add film grain" is checked (lower in the same palette). This command also allows you to apply the grain, even if you haven't chosen the color rendering of a film. In this part of the palette, you have complete control of the grain that will be incorporated into the image. You can either respect the grain corresponding to the chosen film or choose that of another film. Note that the grain is only visible at the 100% zoom level. Next, you set the intensity of the grain, with the help of the corresponding cursor. The value "100" corresponds to the visual presence close to that of the original film, which can then be moderated or exaggerated.
