PS CS2 ~ Quick Layers with Texture...
I found these cool textures on Flickr and tried layering them with some photos in Photoshop. The results are pretty cool when you try all the different options. I pulled together a quick video* tutorial demo showing how I used them. The source of the free textures is linked below. Enjoy!
Samples made with Wall Texture.
Hard Light Blended Layer with adjustment made to brightness/contrast.
Multiply Blended Layer
Overlay Blended Layer

Have a blessed day!


Thanks for the link to the textures . . . I'm just getting started on this digi thing & every little tip like this is invaluable :-)
