Bad Distorted Print Effect

The effect recreates the visual of misaligned prints and old scanner errors. The result feels tactile and cinematic at once: uneven color spreads, grainy texture buildup, and ghosted light that suggest a photo pulled from malfunctioning equipment. It works perfectly for concept photography, poster art, album covers, digital collages, and lo-fi editorial visuals. Both vertical and horizontal templates are included for flexible use.

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.
