Right, some of you may know I am making a map for Battlefield 2 (link in sig....)

I want to have some custom billboards on the map.

But I can't just create an image and stick it on, because it will look shit- It has to blend in with the battle/ real life effects with been scratched, dirty, etc.

But how will I go about achieving this?

I will have no problems creating the image for the billboard, but I don't know how to create the scratched effect.....

Ideally I would like to have it as a separate layer, so i just change the layer under it, as I have a lot of signs to do, and not much time. (or something just as easy)

Edit- And i would have searched.... but i dunno what to search for

1. Get an image like this: _{(found on sxc.hu)}

https://static.sxc.hu/j/ja/jazza/845845_45171795.jpg

2. Go in to PS, hit ctrl + u and take the saturation right down.

3. Go to Select -> Color range and choose one of the lighter colours.

4. Without deselecting go to Edit -> Define Brush pattern and give it a name you'll remember.

5. Go in to your billboard image give the billboard a layer mask by going to Layer -> Layer Mask -> Reveal All and grab your brush, using a white colour brush on to the image making sure you have the layer mask selected in the layers palette.

6. Play around with the image you use and the colour behind the billboard, you could also try just using the brush as an eraser but using it with a layer mask means you can simply edit it quite quickly by simply selecting the layer mask and filling it with a white or black.
