the illusion of an old and bad quality paper. It is not a realistic effect, it is just some

INTENSITY: 10. Try different settings for different photos.

designed for comic books you will be able to achieve the desired look. Download the freefontDigital Stripand install it. At the end of this article you will find a lot of free andcommercial comic book fonts and resources.
