Tuesday Tips Video Tutorials - Aged and Faded Poster

I've been making video Tutorials every Tuesday, on one topic or another.

You can see the latest on my YouTube channel, or my Facebook Page.

These two are a set, that will show you how to non-destructively age a poster using Smart Objects and Masks. When you're done, the poster will look really old and ragged; but the type and images will be live!

Fading the Poster

First, we fade the poster by using Smart Objects to embed a CMYK image into an RGB image. Watch to see how!

Holes, Tatters, and Dirt

Age the poster farther by adding holes, tattered edges, and dirt, using masks.

Enjoy!
