How to Distress Text in Seconds With Photoshop Brushes

There are a lot of ways to create distressed text in Photoshop; some techniques are better than others but I have found that the best technique is to use a nice set of Photoshop brushes in combination with a layer mask. This quick screencast will demonstrate this technique in detail and can be used to distress just about any type of Photoshop object.
