Filters
Stylizes crisp digital art so prints feel more like vintage or screenprinted shirts.
Best for
Stylising designs to look like vintage tees, grunge prints, or classic screenprints instead of crisp digital stickers.
Simple steps
- Choose a filter style first.
- Set Intensity, then tune any filter-specific sliders that appear.
- Run and compare to the original.
- Chain into Solid Alpha or Halftone if you need final print cleanup.
What each setting means
Intensity
Master blend amount for the selected filter.
Warmth / Fade (Vintage)
Only shown when the matching filter is selected. Controls sepia warmth and aged fade.
Scale / Contrast / Seed (Grunge)
Only shown when the matching filter is selected. Controls distress blob size, edge hardness, and noise variation.
Crack size / spacing / seed (Cracked)
Only shown when the matching filter is selected. Controls crack thickness, distance between cracks, and random crack shape pattern.
LPI / Angle / Dot size (Color Halftone)
Only shown when the matching filter is selected. Controls dot frequency, screen rotation, and dot coverage.
Levels / Smoothing (Posterize)
Only shown when the matching filter is selected. Controls number of color steps and pre-quantize blur.
Grain size / Monochrome / Seed (Grain)
Only shown when the matching filter is selected. Controls noise chunk size, color mode, and random pattern.
Seed (Screenprint preset)
Only shown when the matching filter is selected. Re-roll to shuffle texture pattern.
Helpful tips
- Use lower intensity first, then increase until texture is visible but detail stays readable.
- Re-roll seed on grunge, cracked, grain, or screenprint when you like the style but not the exact texture pattern.
- For final DTF prep, run Filters before Solid Alpha so distressed edges stay intentional.
