Overview

The Roughen Edges effect alters the smoothness of the edges of an object, text, or layer by adding random, jagged distortions. This can make the edges look rough, torn, or weathered, giving a more hand-drawn, natural, or aged appearance.

It's often used for creating effects like torn paper, worn-out text, or giving a grunge or distressed look to shapes and images.
