Realistic film grain for digital photograpy - a tutorial

For a very long time I've been looking for a way to create realistic looking film grain on digital photos. As much as I love digital photography I've always missed the magnificent atmospheric film grain you get when shooting on Kodak Tri-X 400 film. I've looked into several plugins but didn't find anything that's really worth the money. Today I was fiddling with some pictures I took on a photoshoot with a band and all of a sudden I found a way to do it!

The results are great (see sample photo in the article) and it's achieved with just a few steps in Photoshop. Nice!
