Grunge Ink Effects

With the Grunge Ink Effects for Photoshop, you can now easily make any graphic have a completely different look. Simply replace the Smart Object with your own design and the file will automatically apply the ink effect. 

Perfect to give your designs a whole new look, you can use this effect on logos, badges, advertisiments, banners, headers or any other graphic you can think of. You can also change the ink color easily with a Solid color, a Gradient Fill or using the Custom Paint layer where you can freely paint with any brush color as well to play with 10 different ink types (which can be combined) and of course, change the background color or replace it by your own.

Your download includes a single .psd file made at 4800 x 3200 px with a 72 dpi resolution with all the necessary elements to give your designs a whole new style. 

How to use:

  • Open the included .psd file in Adobe Photoshop.
  • Double click on the first top layer named "Your Design Here".
  • Place your graphic in the new document, save it and close it.

How to change the Ink color:

How to change the Background color:
