Add Abstract Watercolor Textures to your toolkit if you work on overlays for photos or poster grain a lot.
Good pick for photographers, poster designers or anyone putting together a portfolio. One thing worth knowing: set textures to Multiply or Overlay blend modes and lower the opacity; full strength rarely looks right.
Free resources like this are a good way to try a style before committing to a paid pack.
