Access All Areas members are being treated to something really cool this week from Matt Borchert. The Rough Edges Automator is a fantastic time saving tool that allows you to instantly rough up your artwork to achieve everything from subtle print effects to years of erosion and decay. The Action has a range of settings to provide the best result, but most importantly all the modifications are non-destructive, meaning your original artwork will be preserved.
