Looking for a specific texture.

Hi.

Been looking for a type of distressed texture similar to the image attached. Preferably a vector asset...can be a brush too I guess. Feels like one of those subtle grunge or paper textures but I cant seem to find what I want.

Appreciate the help.

See if this will work. It’s an .afphoto file with a single Pattern Layer. You could open the file, copy the pattern layer, and paste it on top of the Layers stack. Set the blend mode to Multiply to get rid of the white. Or perhaps set it to Color Burn to get rid of the white and also use the colors from underneath. Good?

Nice! I did find something but thank you! I'd love to have more control over the colour though...any chance you got this in vectors? Thanks BTW!

Good morning, @toddlauzon. I didn’t make this with vectors for a couple of reasons. First, I’m really lousy working with vectors. Second, and more importantly, I wanted to make it as a Pattern Layer so that it was less dependent on canvas/image size. (i.e., it could be as large or as small as needed.) As far as I know, pattern layers are pixel-only phenomena. Setting the blend mode to Multiply or Color Burn drops outs the white background and darkens the underlying colors (which is what was happening in your example). You can lower opacity of the pattern layer to make it darken less.  You could get rid of the white in the pattern (with a blend range, or with Erase White Paper, if that works) and then Recolor the pattern to your desired target color(s) if you like.

The Pattern Layer is a bit limiting, I suppose, but the advantage of its being self-scaling was what I was after.
