Grungetastic - Mac Info


Grungetastic cranks your photos to 11 with three hot and heavy looks: Classic Grunge, Bleached Grunge, and Pop Grunge. These three fun and aggressive Grungetastic styles let you get down and dirty with your photos, just like they like it. Faster than you can say "filthy," these styles and Grungetastic's easy, hands-on interface will have you smushing delightfully unwell textures and tones, deeply satisfying contrasts, and explosively pleasurable pops.

Grungetastic styles are creative madness or clearer visions of reality, whatever it is, they go to an artistic place few ever get. You can't get a cooler, hotter photo anywhere.

Shadows, Rubbing, Scratching, Ripping, Shredding, Stressing, Distressing, Popping, Exploding, Splatters, Smudging, Glowing, Glaring, Smoking – just some of the wildness that Grungetastic will hook you up with.

Grungetastic comes with 7 different preset styles

Classic Grunge

Get a little dirty by adding two fully customizeable layers of grungy tone, texture and scratch patterns to give your photo attitude and style.

Bleached Grunge

This extreme and monotoned effect combines the cool look of a contrasty, desaturated image with grungy grit and texture.

Pop Grunge

Become a grungy pop icon! This effect turns your photograph into a comic-style artwork then adds lots of grungy texture for a display of dramatic creativity.

Worn Pop Grunge

This grungy effect starts by converting a photo to pop art then wears away the surface to reveal distressed and aged paper beneath.

Worn Grunge

Give your photo an appearance of wear from years of dust and dirt scuffing away the surface to reveal aged paper beneath.  

Gritty Grunge

This grungy effect uses various ingenious techniques to create an over exposed quality contrasted with gritty distressed texture.

Distressed

This extreme grungy effect distresses with stains and scratches then fades the photos leaving behind traces of time-worn color rippling through the darker areas in the image.

 

Saving and Deleting Presets

Once you have applied a preset and modified it using the adjust tab, you can save your own custom preset by going to the file menu and selecting save preset. To delete a preset click the red + in the bottom corner which will make red Xs appear next to the preset thumbnails tap them to delete.
