I should be able to replicate this in GIMP, but I don't think that this will give me the effect I want.

free of license restrictions.Īfter you get a look that's 80% there you can go in with a small brush to kick out some strong high lights like at the corners of the panels. is a good place to go free account gets you 15 megs worth of very good high res texture source photos, per 24hr period. You can also use the selection to copy/paste grunge textures from photos and manipulate them further with layering and filters. that gives you a selection with imperfect edges, then you can paint in the selection with a dirtied up brush to give you a quick lay-in for this type of scuffs. Run some filters like fragment and pixelate on the mask then switch back to normal mode. That lets me manipulate the selection mask as if it's a normal layer.

I'm pretty sure there are similar tools in GIMP but in PS I make selection out of the seams, go into quick mask mode.
