Photoshop allows you to create that ripped, torn and distressed effect that has been seen around lately. Its a simple practice in masking and brush settings. This tutorial will show you how to achieve that ripped effect with little effort, and a lot of flexibility.
I was looking through a recent print magazine in which they were displaying artwork around the world. I saw a lot of grungy, torn, ripped and generally distressed design trends. I like trendy things, so I figured Id show a way of recreating these effects in Photoshop.
Start with a blank document and make a square selection with the Marquee tool [M] a little smaller than your document.
Create a Solid Color Adjustment Layer and fill it with whatever color you want. In this case, I used #6D665B.
Now choose the Brush tool [B]. Select the Brush menu at the top, in your Options palette, and select the Chalk 17 pixels brush. NOTE: If you are having trouble finding the brush, when your Brush palette drops down, select the small arrow in the upper right corner, then select Small List. It should make your palette look like mine.
Press [D] to set your colors back to default. Bring up your Brush Options by pressing [F5] or going [Window > Brushes].
Click on Shape Dynamics and change the settings similar to mine:
Size Jitter: 100%
Minimum Diameter: 0%
Angle Jitter: 50%
Roundness Jitter: 25%
Minimum Roundness: 25%
Flip X Jitter: Yes
Flip Y Jitter: Yes
NOTE: I use a Wacom Tablet (www.wacom.com ) so my brush tip shape preview probably looks different than yours. Mine is feathered at the edges.
Click on Scattering and change the settings similar to mine:
Scatter: 100%
Both Axes: Yes
Count: 1
Count Jitter: 0%
Next, click on Texture. Click on the texture preview window, and choose the second texture from the left.
Then, change the settings:
Scale: 100%
Mode: Color Burn
Depth: 50%
Click on Other Dynamics and change the settings to:
Opacity Jitter: 50%
Flow Jitter: 0%
And finally, click on Wet Edges and make sure Smoothing is checked.
Now, just brush along the edges of your color square, and watch how it works.
Youll probably want to save your brush settings. Click on your Brush Presets menu again, and choose New Brush Preset. Name the brush whatever you like.
Go back to the Brush Preset menu and choose the Spatter 24 pixels brush.
Go back to the Brushes window and check the same settings you had earlier. When you click on each box, it should remember your settings from the previous brush. The only difference, is were going to set:
Scattering: 1000%
Set your foreground color to a light gray, I used #B6B6B6.
Now, dont click and drag. Just point and click once, randomly across your image. This should add a little more distress.
Now, were going to create another Solid Color Adjustment Layer. Make it slightly darker than the color of your first one. Then press [Ctrl + G] to create a Clipping Mask. CS2 users have to use [Ctrl + Alt + G].
Press [D] to set your colors to default. Press [Ctrl + Backspace] to fill the mask with black. With white as your foreground color, use the same brush and same technique as above.
Now, to finish it off, you can add some Noise to the top layer by going [Filter > Noise > Add Noise]. Adjust the settings to your liking and apply.
The great thing about this technique, is that you can experiment with many of the different brushes and their settings to get different effects. Ill leave it up to you to get creative.
