Add some grain to your B&W scans!
Most probably you have shot a lot of B&W film and then scanned them like you normally would. But, if you are a fan of old school photographs you might want to do something else:
- Develop you films like usual
- Scan your negatives like a normal paper document!
- Modify the parameters until you see the negative like you want
The result? Your photos will look like they were printed in a newspaper a long time ago.
