Download My Free Xerox Grunge Smart PSD

In one of my recent tutorials I showed how to create a Grainy Xerox Grunge Effect in Photoshop, named after its similarity to old photocopied images. Download this FREE Smart PSD to easily recreate the effect with your own images by replacing the contents of the Smart Object. The artwork is given a high-contrast appearance with shading generated by large grainy noise textures, all customisable by altering the layers within the PSD file.

Double-click the Smart Object to replace the contents with your own image or artwork. The effect will be automatically updated to apply the grainy xerox grunge effect. Fine tune the appearance by adjusting the Threshold layer, which will determine the overall contrast of the image, along with the opacity of the grain layer, which will alter the amount of grain that is applied to the image. At the top of the layer stack is a gradient map that can be configured to add a colourful duotone effect to the final result.
