Add grain without enhancement?

I’m not sure if I’m missing something in the software (v4.0 now), but it seems like I am unable to add grain to a video without also running an enhancement model like Proteus. Is it possible? If not, can that be changed? My workflow is usually–1) Scale up & enhance, 2) Interpolate & add grain. But, because I don’t see a way to add grain without also enhancing, I end up having to run the Proteus enhancement twice, i.e. 1) scale up & enhance, 2) interpolate & enhance with grain.

You might think that I should just add grain during the first enhancement, and I do sometimes, but the interpolation (Apollo) removes the grain, so it always needs to be added again after the interpolation.

Can anybody provide more info about this? If there really is no way to add grain without running one of the enhancement models, can the developers please change that?
