*** Making Grunge Backgrounds ***

[The Drifter]

It's alot easier than you think man.

First of all.. make sure your layer is white.. and your colours B/W.

Go to Filter>Render>Clouds. (This is optional I guess.. but it seems to work well for me).

Make a new layer.. and add a grunge brush somewhere.. still in black.

Make a new layer.. and add another grunge brush somewhere.

Keep doing this until theres loadsa layers and so loadsa bits of grunge.

Combine it all.. and go to Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation.

Click 'Colourize'. and then just fuck around with the bars.

I always keep pressing undo after seeing the colour version and add/remove brushes etc..

It's that easy.

Of course you can do it in colour brushes/clouds for added effects.. but thats the simple way.

I'm still waiting for you hoes to start tutorials too.

Where do we get these grunge brushes?

I hope you are talking about photoshop because that's all i have.

Honestly, grunge brushes are kinda too strong, what you need is dirty brushes and put capasity on about 70%.

Word?

I'm a n00b.. but this is how I'm doing it at the moment anyway.

I'll try dirty brushes.. sounds easier.

When you save the brushes, How do you do it...

What folder do you unzip them and shit.

[Aines.ly Harriot]

When you've downloaded the brushes/unzipped them if necessary click on the arrow icon on the Brush box. go down to load brushes and find the foler you Unzipped them to, then simply click on the .ABR file

make your own brushes... you can make them whatever shape you want then...

What folder do you unzip them and shit.

For me its'.. Program Files>Adobe>Photoshop>Presets>Brushes

You'll notice the icon says ABR File on it.. just match it with the icons in the right folder if you're unsure.
