I am trying to imitate the grainy photocopy effect in the poster below. I have found some photoshop tutorials but it doesn't quite give me the exact outcome. I am using the beginning of the video tutorial below. Its a lot lengthier of a process than I thought. A lot of fiddling around.

So far I have created the below following the beginning of the video tutorial which used the threshold to give a posterised effect and I settled for that as the closest I could get. I inverted it because I thought it looked better for the photo. But as you can see looked nothing like the above reference point. There is more grain in it.

  • The "duplicates" have also other goals which can make extracting the kernel of the effect difficult. Your case is halftoning with grains (=noise). A narrow grayscale range in a Black and white image really can get the wanted halftone pattern if the image is grainy and the image is tresholded with treshold or preferably curves adjustment layer. A slight slope in the curve is useful. An example (just adding noise) i.stack.imgur.com/52u2i.png It's very sensitive to image contrast, treshold and the amount of noise, only a part of the brightness range gets grays.
