Grungetastic can modify your photographs to give them a grungy look. The tool has an easy-to-use interface with a very simple workflow: all you need to do is load the picture, select a general style, try a few textures to find the one that works best for you, and apply the chosen filter. What is more, all the features are available straight from the main screen, without needing to open additional windows.
The application comes with several styles, including, but not limited to, Classic Grunge, Bleached, Pop Grunge and Distressed Grunge. Moreover, there are 140 distressed and scratched grunge textures available. It is great that you can create combinations of textures to get limitless possibilities. In this respect, there is even an automatic combination, which is available from the Randomize button. Other possibilities include changing individual colors, using multiple overlays and applying borders.
All in all, do not expect Grungetastic to help you make your photos more beautiful. In fact, the tool does exactly what it is supposed to: create artistic grungy effects on real pictures. However, even when it comes with lots of styles and filters, it cannot compete against other photo editing tools in terms of supported styles and filters. The product can be tried at no cost, but the results cannot be saved. Fortunately, it has a very reasonable price.
