...so I am replying here to thank properez5 for the great sets of grunge brushes posted over the last couple of days.
Hours of fun, everybody do yourselves a favour and download a set or two from here.
(Can I make a request for some halftone brushes, I would be ever so grateful!) :D

"Reply with Quote" in my case leads to the same reply Acorn points out the post above this one.
I've never understood why this forum requires such tight admin control.
as I recall the restriction on posting by members was because that forum is/was meant to be a resource and not a discussion platform
I think these brushes are great but would also be interested to see examples showing ideas how best to use them.
I know roughly how to create a dispersion effect in apps like Affinity Photo (see apple below) using masks, but I don't really know how, or if indeed it is actually possible, to achieve the same effect in Xara Designer.

I've had a quick go and can make abstract sketchy grungy (Disperser8 for the edges and Disperser3 for general grunge) but I feel there is a lot more to discover.

Jono,
Angelize did a video on doing dispersion effects a few years ago. Here is the youtube link.

Thanks Ray. I’ve taken a look. It’s nearly 50 mins long! but luckily you can playback at 1.75 speed and still get the gist. Much of the video is taken up with downloading and converting brush resources and cutting the photo from the background. I’ve made some notes and will try tomorrow. I’ve never fully understood using masks so it will be a useful exercise.Quote:
