      Atomica's way of living

      I got so obsessed with these gritty textures and printing offsets that I can't say anymore if I'm living in 2023 or 1943.

      Please, somebody help me.

      P.S.: Jokes aside, this bundle helped me A LOT and I highly recommend it to anyone out there searching for an authentic vintage look to their projects.

      Making memories

      When i was a kid, my grandfather had a bunch of old 50's magazines. I remember looking at the adverts and print, this tool, this incredible plug-in, took me right back to holding those magazines!

      And now, with the fact that i can create those 'looks' myself, with art or design I create is incredible! This plug-in is undeniably an asset for anyone who wants to create nostalgic feels, or just have an awesome tool in their arsenal.

      The paper textures! WOW! this just adds to the look, and is incredibly realistic. Printing these A1 or bigger gives an incredible sense of real paper texture and gets a lot of people commenting on that aspect. Or simply "Where did you find this retro poster?"

      My thanks to True Grit for this and other awesome products!

      great product!

      Took me a minute to play around with it and figure it out but the instructions and video were easy to follow. Once I understood what I was doing it was really easy to adjust my work, customize the layers and create variations to achieve the look I was going for.

      Looks super cool, approaching learning curve presently...

      The effects are awesome in TG examples, but this is deep photoshop stuff, and it looks like it definitely requires some deep learning. Can't wait to figure it out!
