Vintage Engraving Photo Effect

This engraving effect draws from traditional intaglio illustration techniques — e.g., old banknotes, bookplates, and 19th-century portraiture — reworked into a digital format. It's now a fitting choice for editorial portraits, experimental zines, fashion lookbooks, album packaging, literary posters, political prints, indie brand artwork, and stylized social content. The effect strips photos down to form and shadow, making even subtle gestures feel graphic and intentional.

The pack includes two high-resolution PSDs (vertical and horizontal layouts), complete with Smart Object layers and editable color overlays for quick tonal adjustments.

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.
