    Extracting Photograph Noise as a black and white layer from Photograph

    perfectblue Community Member

      I am looking to extract natural noise from a photographs material and create a black and white layer out of it, but I am new to photoshop and unsure how to proceed with this.

       

      For example, here is a photograph of a hard plastic gun.

      I have seen on forums where users will find a good reference image and use it to create a new black and white noise picture utilizing the reference.

       

      For instance the hard plastic noise from the gun, might look like this once extracted and done correctly.

      Any ideas on how to produce something such as this?

       

      Thank you
