8. Click OK. Now you should have many many small and large pieces of selection. Hit ‘delete’ on your keyboard. This will delete all black that was previously selected. Here is what you should see.
9. Now simply deselect everything (CTRL+D) and there ya go! You can now move the grunge layer around to find the perfect look. This works because the grunge layer is white which is blending in with the white background.
10. If you have other stuff around your grunge affected area (which you probably do) you can simply make the grunge layer a clipping layer. Do to this, make sure your grunge layer is selected and located directly above your text or whatever object you want to have a grunge, and hit CTRL+ALT+G on your keyboard.
That’s it! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

Not a bad tutorial, however there are a couple things I would have done differently.
You could make a more flexible and editable stroke by creating a vector graphic layer and then using the layer effects to stroke it.
Also, as a graphic designer and because of clients and their neverending demands, I never “delete” stuff from my layers. It’s much easier and editable later to make it a clipping path or set a transparency option.
Otherwise nice!
