Step 1

You’ll nee
ed some textuures and phottos before you start. You m may look for tthem on stocck websites, frree
stock webbsites or you may pick som me from your collection of textures. I ussed textures ffrom
cgtextures.com. I found them in Paper caterogryy and Manmaade category. I can’t make them availab ble
for downlload here duee to their licen
nce restrictio
ons but you mmay download d them free of charge from m
cgtextures’ website. Yoou don’t have e to choose exxactly these ttextures I pickked but if youu choose them m it’ll
be easier to follow my tutorial. I’m leaving the chhoice up to yoou. Below yo ou’ll find five ttextures that I
used (a paaper texture aand four macchines).

Step 6
Go to Filte
er > Blur > Surface Blur… aand use it. Use e 5 pixels for radius and 15 pixels for thhreshold. Thiss way
you’ll get rid of some rredundant de etails. Go to Fiilter > Stylize > Find Edgess. After that desaturate thiis
layer by h
hitting Shift + Ctrl/CMD + UU. Use surface e blur severall more times but beware o of loss of som
me key
elements. If they are sttarting to disaappear simply stop blurrinng it or isolatee the area wh hich should sttay
untouched.

Step 10
Go to Filte
er > Blur > Mo otion Blur and use 44 pixe els for distancce and 0 degreees for an angle. Duplicatee this
layer. Move the originaal layer a bit tto the right. TThen move thhe duplicated layer to the left. Both layeers
should bee moved only a few pixels ((no more than ten to fifteeen pixels). Maake a selectio on of the origginal
layer again (see the be eginning of the eighth step p for the instr uctions). Click on two layeers from this sstep
and applyy a mask for b both of them. Just hold Alt//Option key aand click on aa mask icon att the bottom of
the layerss palette. Finaally change th
heir blending modes to Co lor Burn and lower their o opacity if
