CopyCat Photoshop Action

Introducing CopyCat, a Photoshop action that replicates the look of worn out photocopies - whether you are looking to apply this effect to posters, album covers, zines, typography compositions or photos, this tool will help you get cool looking copies without having to go to the local print shop.

FEATURES:

✨ Realistic Photocopy Effect: Easily achieve the photocopy look with just a few clicks. This action meticulously replicates the grainy textures, contrast and toner marks found in old photocopies, with elements sampled from real toner marks and grunge textures for a more realistic result.

✨ Customizable settings: Fine tune the effect to suit your artwork -  adjust the intensity, texture, grit amount, print pattern, and image levels using the parameters generated by the action.

✨ Non-destructive workflow: Your original image remains untouched. Each time you run the action, it will generate a brand new Photoshop document with all your original layers intact (if you select the Layered option), and converted to a Smart Object so you can keep working on the source material even after the effect is applied.

✨ User friendly: The action creates a clean template with color coded groups and well organized layers for ease of use. You will also get a detailed user guide video with captions to follow along and get a full overview of all the action features, as well as a speed art process video for a more practical approach.
