dirty edges

Hi there first time here.

I have a little problem that i'm sure somone can help me with.

There an effect achieved by liam wolf at www.neopod.net under illustration that i would like to be able to replicate. At the edges of his images he has a really dirty, choppy kind of look.

Can anyone help with this.

Thanx in advance steve.

i would suggest playing with brushes. you can download some nice ones at http://nocturna.net/brushes/ that should do the trick.

here is an image i did today using those brushes:

Thanx very much for the reply and the link.

I see what you mean very similar effect. I also got a similar effect playing with cutout pieces of texture layer and using colour burn and hard light duplicate layers.

Thanx again

Steve
