Re: How to make object background appear distressed?

Yeah, I obviously have no clue what I'm doing. Tried the export and import of bitmap and the raster still doesn't do anything, so I loaded some random jpgs and still can't get anything in the raster menu to do anything to them.

Re: How to make object background appear distressed?
