    Default Distressed edge masks

    Having a need to "distress" the edges of some photos for a project and being too lazy to create the masks myself , I searched the interwebs. I saw loads of GIFS and JPEGS and then I found these vectors . They were originally in EPS format, so I converted them (via Illustrator) to shapes in Designer.

    I hope that they will be of use to someone.

    Set one consists of distressed frames with a transparent centre and set two consists of solid blocks with distressed edges. There are 50 frames in each.

However, among the comments when asked about commercial usage of the frames his reply was "You may just give credit to this site and mention it somewhere with our url http://www.designfreebies.org." Best to check though if you want to use any of these on a commercial project.

    Nice find, Xara should include some of these in the design gallery, not these actual ones but a variety of their own.

    You're welcome folks. These are rare beasts indeed, so kudos to the guy who created them and made them available.

    I love them. I have a bunch of bitmap ones from my Photoshop days but these vectors are infinitely better. Thanks for posting!
