Distress FX

What is it and what's it for?

Distress FX is a professional set of Photoshop textures that lets you create a cracked, aged print effect in just a few minutes.

Fact: In the clothing industry the vintage effect has long become the norm, but achieving a natural worn-out look without the right textures is hard.

Distress FX helps create realistic prints in vintage, grunge, and streetwear styles — strengthening brand perception and how your collections come across.

- 34 brushes

- 15 patterns

How does it work in practice?

Create a document and drop your design into it. You can add texture in three ways:

1. Via the PNG texture file. Overlay the texture on the design, scale it as needed, then Ctrl+click on the texture layer, create a mask on the design layer, and invert it if needed.

2. Via brushes. Create a mask on the design layer, then pick the brush you need and paint in black on the mask. You can change the texture scale in the brush settings.

3. Via a pattern layer. Create a layer with the texture you need, then select the black color with the magic wand and create a mask on the design layer, inverting it if needed.
