Look through all the various menus in the Categories drop down list.
Thanks Fluid for the Adobe link but I still didn't see any "grunge eraser brush" on that link.

You might have to search around on the site some to find it.

you just have to look around... its not going to be called "grunge eraser brush" for sure..but along those lines...you can also make your own and there are tutorials on that..try www.good-tutorials.com and search for making your own grunge brushes.

There's pretty much zero chance that site isn't selling pirated software (Adobe CS2 does not cost $65 for example).

Any tips for distressing images using Corel PSP XI, which is what I'm using for my images. Alternatively, how about Gimp?

You probably could use the same vector filters as an overlay, or one of the photoshop overlays that are out there.

Default My 2 cents

Another way to really get the feel of actually "distressing" something is to find an old paper bag, like a lunch sack, and crumble it up and scan it in at 300dpi, then bring it in Photoshop and go to Image>Threshold..

It creates a nice distressing pattern that you can then take into Illustrator and Live Trace it to convert it to vector.

I create my own quite a bit that same way.
printing a large black square on a laser printer and then crumpling up works pretty good as well.

Scanning all sorts of various textures you can find in your house and converted to black and white is another good way to make your own.

Just wanted to add my two cents.
I take whatever it is I want to be my "texture" (wheather it be woodgrain, oil spill, or worn paper) scan it, change it to black and white, and save as a tiff.
I can just paste it on top of anything in Illustrator and paint it shirt color or whatever color I want it.

Can you use Retro with coredraw? Is there a software for CorelDraw for vintage looks? Any suggestions for this vector software?
