Retro goodness at your fingertips!

A brilliant resource to really give your digital art an authentic vintage vibe. The hand craft and printing 'defects' also give your work a sense of realism that you don't get with a purely digital vector production.

very satisfied :)

works wonderfully and the tutorial video explains simply how to use the package.

The installation went smoothly with the instructions.

My only criticism is that the video tutorial should have shown "shortcuts" or should have shown manually how to open the corresponding field for the settings. In some cases I needed more time to figure out how to open the setting that was shown in the video tutorial.
