Halftone 42
Vintage T-shirt effects: halftone, distressed and grunge
A vintage look makes a T-shirt seem as though it has been washed a hundred times: coarse halftone dots, frayed edges, scratches and flaking ink. Halftone 42 builds this look straight into the print file – with real gaps, not just an on-screen effect.

Fresh off the press. Born old.
26 edge effects and generated textures
Edge effects range from “Fade into dots” and “Torn” to “Sprayed edge” and “Grainy stamp frame”. All are generated and never repeat; use “Variant” to roll a new shape. “Outside only” affects the outer edge; “Inside too” also affects holes in the design.
Textures remove colour from the print: Strength sets how much is removed at each point; Amount sets how much of the area is affected. Use the Brush and Eraser to restore or remove individual areas.
