Nothing beats the look of inking something by hand. The variation of coverage and the small inconsistencies are what give it that individual look. The problem comes when you want to scan that work in and use it. Unless you have an expensive scanner, your work may lose that tone and end up being a bit flat.

Inkwell recreates the look of hand drawn Ink in Photoshop, so you can give life back to your lettering and illustration work. Inkwell uses Photoshop smart layers. Just double click on the layer, paste in your work, save, close and you’re done.

      Hey Jiyeon,

      Thank you so much for getting in touch, I am really sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I’m afraid this item is only compatible with Photoshop so it will not work for you in Illustrator. I apologise for any inconvenience caused but rest assured, there are a number of items in our marketplace that should be able to achieve this effect in illustrator. If you would like me to offer any recommendations please do let me know and I will happily assist you with this :)

    Can the transparent background be kept? The first image shows a before image with a transparent background. After the effect is applied there is a white background behind the new text design. Is it possible to remove that white background and keep the transparent background with the new text design after it is applied? Thank you.

      Hey Tony,

      Thank you for your comment, I’m pleased to report that the background is on a separate layer which can be removed so you absolutely keep the transparent background when applying this effect :)

      I hope this helps, Tony, and please don’t hesitate to contact me should you have any other questions. I’m here to help!

      Hey Lynn,

      Thank you so much for your comment! I am really sorry but I am afraid that the psd files in this pack will not work in Photoshop Elements – I apologise for any inconvenience caused but rest assured, we have some awesome watercolour and ink textures in our marketplace that can achieve a similar effect to this – they are also in png and jpeg format so they should definitely work for you in your software :)

      I apologise again for any inconvenience, Lynn. Rest assured, we always keep a sharp eye out for resources that are compatible with Photoshop Elements but if you have any particular items on your wishlist, please do let me know which ones they are and I will do my best to source them for you :)
