How to add textures to your pictures



Textures add a nice touch to your pictures, here is how I usually add it
  • Open your image in photoshop.
  • open the texture you would like to add, you can find some here
  • with the move tool ( press V) drag and drop the texture layer on top of your background image.
  • resize the texture layer to fit.
  • Change the blending option to overlay ( other blending options also work but I prefer overlay).
  • Change the opacity of the texture layer to your liking.
  • you can use a low opacity eraser to lessen the effect in certain places.
  • Flatten your image.
There is no one size fits all when it comes to texturing, you will have to experiment to see what works best.
Keep on shooting
