How Do You Make a Screen Print Effect in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 9:09 pm

In order to create a screen print effect in Photoshop, you need to start with a base image. This can be any image, but it works best with images that have high contrast and strong lines. Once you have your base image, you need to create a new layer on top of it. On this new layer, you will draw your screen print design using black and white pixels.

Make sure that the pixels are large enough so that they will be visible when printed. Once you have your design complete, you need to add a few more layers on top of it. These layers will be used to create the printing effects.

The first layer should be a solid color. This color will be the color of your screen print ink. You can experiment with different colors to see what looks best. The next layer should be a noise layer.

To create this layer, go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise. Add enough noise so that it is visible, but not too much that it obscures your design. The next layer should be a blurring layer. To create this layer, go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Add enough blur so that your design is still visible, but the edges are softened.

The final step is to adjust the opacity of each layer until you are happy with the effect. Once you are satisfied with your screen print effect, you can save your image and print it out!

PRO TIP: This tutorial covers how to create a screen print effect in Photoshop. It is important to follow the instructions carefully, as screen printing involves using chemicals that can be harmful if not used correctly. Always wear gloves and a mask when working with screen printing chemicals, and be sure to work in a well-ventilated area.

Screen printing is a great way to add unique effects to your images. By following the steps above, you can easily create a screen print effect in Photoshop.
