Get the filter here - viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13418 (read the entire thread)
Be sure to follow the install directions including the required pattern downloads. The mask and the burger pattern.
6) Now just copy the image you pasted and paste it as a new layer in the effected layers at the top. Set LAYER MODE to "DARKEN-ONLY".

XCF Work space File attached.


Remember you can use ANY pattern with transparent areas with this filter. AND it does NOT have to be text you use it on. You just need any image with some transparency.

Playing with the XCF file some more. I actually used a clipboard brush (the copied image) to paint on the shredded layers (both) to get the eyes , nose, and collar to pop.

I also moved the shredded layers a bit.

Thank you so much Rod. I don't know if I did it correctly, but here my tries.

Awesome! Looks great to me.

Cool Rod:) Lovely effects Issabella
