Retro Waves Effect

Bend the grid, not the rules. The Retro Waves effect turns your images into optical riddles soaked in old-school charm. It’s like seeing your visuals through a CRT screen dialed past max contrast: warped just enough to catch the eye, polished enough to keep it there. Those wavy halftone lines add rhythm to stillness, pulsing across portraits, promos, digital zines, fashion shots, or graphic elements with a tactile intensity that feels printed, not pasted. The asset comes ready with Smart Objects for smooth edits and fast swaps, plus delivered in two PSD formats (vertical and horizontal).

This resource is created, and fully compatible with Adobe Photoshop. For the best experience, we recommend to use the latest Creative Cloud version of the app.
