Sjitske PMed me. He looked at my last entry's PSD file and learned how to make a noise layer.
I figure this little trick can maybe help you too...
1. First step, make a new layer from the top corner...
2. Set that layer in "overlay" mode and fill with 50% gray...
3. Add noise to the layer, set the amount the way you like...
4. And you can bring few adjustments to that new layer. Changing opacity for softer mood... sometimes I add a very soft blur to it, or hue/saturation for low saturation if you feel the noise too colorful...
It is especially very useful on high resolution pictures, when a lot of stamp tool or brushes were used... just to bring back the original feel over the whole image... on every details.

See's the Graphs in the Layers panel.....
Holy cow... ....they have a MATH edition of PS ?
I'm still in Art class and now you tell me i have to know algebra too.
Candron ...cut and paste.... You nut....you have too much Artistic Talent now...We have to limit you to the cut and paste version to keep it fair.
That's the lie i keep telling me anyway. Works too.

To Add to Claf's Very Cool & Interesting Mini-TUT:
If you do the same thing with the 50% gray / OVERLAY layer but then use the BURN and/or DODGE tool on it, you'll lighten or darken the image underneath it WITHOUT hurting any pixels (except for the 50% gray layer).
So, basically, whatever you do to that GRAY layer, as far as Light and Dark go, happens to what is underneath it. If you seriously screw up (and you KNOW you will at some point ) you can just fill that layer again with 50% Gray and try again.

Very cool tips. Thanks Claf and Rein.
Knew about the trick Rein stated. It works very well. (cuz I screw up constantly.)
And didn't know about Clafs tip. I tried it and it works very well.
Thanks again!

Basically that 50% gray layer can have any effect on it that works with LUMINENCE (dark or light). And, again the benefit: it won't hurt your original pixels! So it is a very useful trick.
If people are interested I am willing to do a ScreenCast tutorial of this - it will be a good excuse to try out my new TUTORIAL CREATION MACHINE.

Yeah yeah yeah. Just do it.
Don't forget to throw in some extras that are important to newbs that don't get discussed much.
Like linking layers, and how to turn a selection into a path.
Aint you in the Scav?
