# Heh
this one's not technically noise, I don't think.

# Sure it is.
ok, maybe 'static' then.

I tried for ages to work out how to make this 'gradiated noise' effect and I just couldn't figure it out, so I went onto the Adobe user forums and asked around.
Once they'd made sure they'd let me know what a lame n00b I was, someone actually came up with a solution which worked, and I posted a few on here.
Then a bunch of people pointed out that it looks exactly like an old Apple application's images (can't remember which one). And of course that's because it's a primitive technique, reducing gradients to 2-colour bitmaps, which I really should have figured out myself.
I notice people have been doing a related thing using paint recently, which creates lovely jaggy lines.

# You probably asked wrong.
If you want fast, genuine responses, you need to say something like

"GIMP is so much better that photoshop because you can do the gradiated noise technique so easily. It takes hours to achieve the same effect in photoshop".

Minutes later, you have ten people trying to prove how wrong you are.

"LISTEN RETARD, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IN PHOTOSHOP IS....."

And it's like the 'bitbox' application on the old mac classic (it was part of a program called world builder, which I used to use to make crappy role-playing games). I'm sure there are other things it is like, but that's the one that always springs to mind.

# well, the bitbox just let you paste in bitmaps from other applications
or draw 'em yourself pixel by pixel.

# I used to use it with my friend's scanner.
To put pictures of people I didn't like into games, then circulate them throughout the school.

And I thought they were the nerds.
