[Plugin] Grain - Make some noise

[spoilerhead]

I'm creating this thread to give an Introduction to this plugin, and its properties, and provide a place to talk about it and share presets and sample images.

Grain (click to download), Current version: T31

The Grain Plugin offers a fast way to add some texture to your images. While it does not try to replicate analog film grain the effect is the same. From small, almost invisible to big and bold, all available. The amount in shadows, mids and highlights can be controlled separately.
Grain can also be used to give some structure to burnt highlights or underexposed shadows.

This Plugin doesn't aim to create real film like grain, but its probably good enough(tm) to fool the untrained eye
Grain works great along the Silicon Bonk plugin

Color Tick this to get colored grain instead of monochromatic. Useful if you want to mimic color negative film

Size Tweak this to your liking, from tiny, almost digital to bug fat an ugly

Amount General Intensity of the Grain from none to loads

Shadows, Midtones and Lights Amount of the Grain in that luminance range. The defaults give a pretty realistic look there

Seed a random seed. change this if you don't like the generated grain field. (e.g. theres just a big chunky block on the eye of your model)

RandomTick this to have a different grain on a series of images, good for slide shows or image sequences in videos.
