Textures and overlaying in Photoshop


Sophia showed me this way of easily and quickly adding texture to an image in Photoshop! To give credit, Ben did originally show Sophia this.

  1. Open the image you want to add texture to in Photoshop and the texture you want to overlay (as separate files).

  2. On the texture image, press Select Colour Range and then select a lighter area of the texture.
  3. Move the fuzziness range to get the texture you want (higher is a lighter texture)
  4. Right click and select inverse
  5. Right click again and select layer via copy
  6. Deselect the eye (visibility) of the original texture image and you'll see the new layer of texture you've created.
  7. Now right click on the new texture layer in the layers panel and select duplicate layer

  8. The duplicate layer box will come up and you can choose to change the destination of the duplicate layer to the document you want the texture to appear on!
  9. Now move the texture to where you want it to be, say on the black line and where her hair is.
  10. On the layer with the image, select colour range again, but this time select where you want the texture to appear, so in this case on the black.
  11. Select inverse again and then on the new texture layer in the layers panel, press backspace, and the texture will appear on top of the black!
  12. The cheat way to change the colour is to lock the texture layer, then move the colour picker to where you want the colour, then hold alt and press backspace!
  13. Or you can do hue/saturation.
