Add age or texture to your vector sign design in Photoshop
Want to age or add texture effects to your vector design in Photoshop with just a few clicks? Machine Wash Deluxe is a plug-in that seems like a natural for sign work. You can see everything it does on www.misterretro.com. You can make your image look weather worn in a variety of ways.
You can make your image appear to be on a background of wood, metal, brick or many other surfaces. It seems like a very good filter for sign work.
