Photoshop will help you nothing more and nothing less than to choose the color profile that best suits your image. So you won't have any problem doing a good preprint on your projects. Not only does it take care of the printing part, but we can also create online media for social networks or web pages, such as banners or content creation.

Tutorial: Create Weathered Texture in Photoshop

Step 1:

1. The first thing we are going to do is open the Photoshop application and in this case we will have prepared an image, It does not matter if it is an image with a neutral color or a photographic image of some landscape or person. The important thing is that the image is in JPG format and that it has a color profile adjusted to the conditions with which it is going to work.
2. Once we have the image we open it and then we press control – O and select the image that we will put as background or worn texture.

Step 2:

1. Once we have selected the image, we just have to go to the Window option and look for the actions option. Actions is a tool with which we can simulate an image and invert it in a way that simulates a worn or out of place effect. So it is very useful if what you want is to create a worn or aged effect.
2. Once you have the action, you just have to confirm it and that's it, You will already have the texture with the worn engraved effect that you want. 
3. It is also possible to make that texture so that you would only have to go to the filter gallery and choose a grainy or aged effect. This will automatically create an effect similar to that of a weathered texture.

Step 3:

1. 1. Once we have the texture, all that remains is to convert it to JPG to be able to embed it on our design quickly and easily. You also have the option to convert it to another format that is more useful to you, such as a simple PNG.
   2. Once we have converted the image, all that remains is to enjoy our worn texture or apply different tones to it to modify it through the layers that we have created.

Conclusion

Photoshop is a tool that currently has become one of the most used. We not only retouch images but we are also capable of designing and creating incredible textures that can be used for our designs or projects.
