Hello all,
I am very new to photoshop and I can't find a tutorial on how to achieve this effect, perhaps because I am not using the right terminology.
Anyway, I would like to achieve a sort of degraded, aged, photocopied effect on text and images like so: https://imgur.com/a/Ot4aq
If anyone could assist me or point me towards a tutorial I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance for any help.
Start with text layer:
Add a new layer above it and fill it with a light gray.
Clip the gray layer to the text layer by pressing the alt/opt key and clicking between the layers.
Add noise to the gray layer:
if you want bigger grain, press ctrl/cmd-T to transform the gray/grain layer. You can enter in numbers for the size. I entered 300%.
If you want the whites more gray, create curves adjustment layer above the grain layer, clip it to the grain layer, and bring down the highlight end of the curve to the gray that you want.
