- Open the artwork that you downloaded from us
Bring in the Distress
- In this example, I just dragged the Distress file into Illustrator. Another option would be to use the Place option under the File menu

Rasterize the Distress
- From the Object menu select Rasterize
Options to Select when Rasterizing
- You will want to select Bitmap in the Color Model dropdown, as well as the Transparent option under Background
