This is a quick video on how to make a distressed or weathered effect in Photoshop. You can download the texture photo here: tallfrost.wordp.... I offer it free for personal use.
I've literally looked for months for a way to do this and you have solved it and saved me further aggravation. Thank you so much for this very clearly explained video on how to do this! Much appreciated.
I was looking for a tutorial on how to accomplish this effect. This is the best tutorial for the distressed look that I found on RU-vid. Thanks so much!
Keep coming back for this tutorial, it's crazy how I keep forgetting the steps! Only thing I find happening now, is that if you need to start over or the texture isn't in the right place, the steps don't work unless you shut down Photoshop and reopen to start again.
Sorry. Haven't logged on for a while. If you haven't found your answer, take your distress effect and select a sqaure or whatever shape you want to cover most of your image. Mask that out first. Then select the remaining--which should be a border--and complete.
There are a lot of companies that will sell things you can use for the distressed effect. Places like shutterstock come immediately to mind. You can make your own simply photographing rust, wood grain, rocks, etc and blowing out the photo
