Scratch Texture Effect

1. Open up a 500px by 500px #000000 canvas.
2. Under the "Filters" tab, select "Artistic" and follow with the "Sponge" effect. Your settings and color palette colors should be left at their default settings.
3. Once again under the "Filters" tab, select "Brush Strokes" and finally "Splatter." Once again, leave your settings as default.
4. Next, under "Filters," select "Texture" and finally "Texturizer." Leave your settings as default.
5. On a new layer, use a 1px round brush in #FFFFFF to create a few long lines.
6. On the layer you created the brush lines, preform to "Chalk and Charcoal" filter under the "Sketch" category. Do not adjust the settings.
7. Under the "Texture" filters category, select the "Patchwork" effect. Leave your settings as default. Adjust your layer opacity to 60%.
8. Under the "Noise" category choose to add 20% noise to your lines. Make sure you check off the "Monochromatic" checkbox.
9. Duplicate and rotate your scratch layer and set their opacity at 30%.
