About the product

This effect replicates a flatbed scanner mid-malfunction: the image splits into horizontal bands that shift laterally at irregular intervals, as if the scan head stalled and resumed on a different line. Heavy grain and dark edge shadows complete the malfunctioning-hardware atmosphere.

Usage: music and underground posters, experimental editorial layouts, album artwork, horror and thriller campaign visuals, streetwear and fashion content, zine covers, and glitch-art mixed-media projects

Details: high-quality PSD file; 4500x3000 px, 300 dpi.

This resource is created for Adobe Photoshop and works best with the latest Creative Cloud version for full Smart Object support.
