AMRE Aura — Grunge Aura Photoshop Action

A soft, grainy aura around your text. One click.

One Photoshop action that dissolves lettering or a logo into a cloud of stippled ink — worn through with grunge, dithered with photocopy grain and coloured through a live Gradient Map. The effect is built from your own artwork: your layer is stacked as a run of ever-wider soft copies of itself, and that stack is the finished lettering.

Non-destructive. The result arrives as a layer group above your layer — your original is only hidden, every part keeps its own opacity slider, and the Gradient Map stays live, so the colours are yours to change at any time.

Any file, any size. The script measures your artwork and the canvas, so the same action holds on a 1000 px sketch and a 7200 px print file.
