How Do I Create a Grunge Texture in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 4:14 pm

Grunge textures are all the rage these days. They give your designs a rough, edgy look that can really make them stand out.

And the best part is, they’re really easy to create in Photoshop! In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to create a grunge texture in just a few simple steps.

First, open up a new Photoshop document. I’m going to make my document 500×500 pixels for this example.

Next, we need to add some noise to our texture. Go to Filter > Add Noise and add about 50% noise to your document.

Now we need to blur the noise a bit. Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and blur the noise by about 5 pixels.

PRO TIP: Grunge textures can be created in Photoshop, but they can be very dangerous if not used correctly. If you are not careful, you could easily create a texture that is too dark or too light, which can ruin your image.

Next, we need to add some texture to our document. I’m going to use a paper texture for this example, but you can use whatever texture you like. Just place your texture on top of your noise layer and set the blending mode to Overlay.

Now we need to add some color to our texture. I’m going to use a dark gray color for this example, but you can use whatever color you like.

Just create a new layer and fill it with your chosen color. Then set the blending mode of this layer to Color Burn.

And that’s it! You’ve now created a grunge texture in Photoshop!

Creating grunge textures in Photoshop is quick and easy! Just follow the steps above and you’ll have yourself a great-looking grunge texture in no time!
