InkBuddie uses Photoshop smart layers (smart objects), so all you have to do is paste your compound artwork in to the smart layer, save and you're done.

InkBuddie comes in 2 versions - Basic and Advanced. With the advanced version I've tried to push the limits of what Photoshop can do, but still making it easy to use and fully customisable. In the advanced video I show you how I put together the cover image and the download includes the Illustrator template to use to achieve the same results.

Basic:
- 1 smart layer
- Image Ink Layer
- Background Ink Layer
- 10 Texture Layers

Advanced:
- 3 smart layers.
- 2 Image Ink Layers
- 1 Solid Color Block Layer
- 10 Texture Layers

What you get:
- InkBuddie Basic PSD files (3000x2000px Landscape & Portrait)
- InkBuddie Advanced PSD files (3000x2000px Landscape & Portrait)
- 10 Textures (PNG 3000x2000px)
- 3 PS Brushes (200px)
- Illustrator Layered Template file
- Instructions
- Video links
