How to Create a Worn Paperback Cover Effect in Photoshop

Download tutorial assets here: www.nucly.com/...
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a worn and torn paperback overlay and then apply this realistically to your cover. I'll also show you some tricks for making artwork look more printed, with printing artifacts, such a halftone pattern, dust and scratches.
Through this project you'll learn about some lesser known blending modes including linear light, exclusion and divide.

For a scanner, this is similar to the one I used for scanning the paperback covers: amzn.to/4fdZ8BJ

Thank you, Rikard, for this tutorial. It explains everything I was looking to find out when I asked this question. Thank you for being so detailed with it. And that cover you created that you placed the distressed overlay on is a beautiful piece of art that you created. Thanks again, sir...
