Smudged Patterned Photo Template

This grain effect lands in straight photocopied-zine territory, run through a machine low on toner. The photo is processed through a heavy stipple screen, with coarse print noise, smudged tones, and scattered CMYK confetti specks breaking across the frame. A smart object drops your image in, and the grain, dust, and color-fleck layers rebuild over it on their own.

Usage: zine spreads, gig posters, album covers, streetwear graphics, editorial photo stories, music artwork, social media posts, flyer headlines.

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