The return of the old trends is nothing new. Visual effects and designs of the bygone days
often come back and considered as something trendy and attractive. In web we
can find a lot of photographs styled with 60s or 70s filters. And they look
good. We will find chrome designs considered as cool which were actually
dominant during the 80s. We see editing effects to deliberately make photos and
graphics look old and vintage. Looks like our love for the past is all
conquering.

Today we
will work on something like that. We will create the VHS effect on a photo. We
will take a photo and distort it with Photoshop. We will add other effects to
it so it can replicate the distorted VHS effect found in VCR. We will also add
some texts of similar kind to make the effect natural.

I hope
most of you still remember how VCR worked and how were the VHS effects. There
was a certain VHS effect when we paused or rewind the cassettes. Today we will
recreate the similar effects. Let us see how to do it.

First
open the selected image in Photoshop. I am using an image from unsplash. First
we need to wrap the image. We need to use the Liquify tool for this purpose. Go

Now
select the Forward Wrap tool. Reduce the pressure to 30. Then drag the tool
from left to right across the whole image. To go thorough the large and small
distortions, you need to alter the size of the brush.

When you
are done with the Liquify process, press OK to save the changes. Now draw a
marquee selection across certain portion of the image. Then press Cmd+T for
Transform. Then stretch that portion. It will create the effect of screen
tearing.
