Here we go, kiddos. This isn’t the Drive poster you requested but it’s almost the same process. This tutorial was done in PS CS4.

I think this has been the most common question to come across my askbox, so I figured it’s time to make a tutorial. This is a rather simple tutorial that will teach you the basics of texture use. So I’ve compiled a few images (which I’ve colorized) and textures that best compliment them just to show you what would work best with different images. This tutorial was done in PS CS4.

• [01] To give you an idea of how to work with light backgrounds and what textures work best we will be going from THIS IMAGE -> THIS IMAGE. The textures used for this image are as follows: 1, 2 and 3 (which have all been made by me). We’ll start off by opening up all of the textures and the original images I provided as you normally would, by going to File -> Open. The image of Rachel McAdam’s is your base, so what we are going to do it Copy and Paste the 1st texture on top of the Rachel McAdams’ image (I have re-sized the texture by going to Image -> Image Size and setting the width to 500px so it’s the exact width as the Rachel photo I’m working with, but you don’t have to do that you can keep the texture the same size). In the bottom right hand corner in the Layers Palette, you’ll see the two layers you are working on, one of them being the Rachel McAdam’s photo and the other the texture you just pasted on top of it. Make sure you click on the texture layer so that it is highlighted and where it says ‘Normal’ click the drop down menu and select ‘Multiply’. Your image should look like this. (Note: I didn’t like the lines all over her face so I used the eraser tool to erase that part of the texture.) Now we will layer the 2nd texture on top of our base image, the same way we did with the first texture but instead of selecting ‘multiply’ we will select ‘Screen’ because the texture is darker. This is our result. And lastly, we will layer the 3rd texture on our base the same way and set it to ‘Darken’. (Note: Moving textures around can give you better positioning.) And we’re done! That’s just providing you with some basic tips of how you can work with lighter bg’s.

• [02] In this step we will be going from THIS IMAGE -> THIS IMAGE, using this texture (courtesy of me). It’s simple, open up the Kristen Bell image and the texture we’ll be using. Copy the texture and paste it on top of the KBell image and make sure you’ve clicked on the texture layer in Layers Palette and then select ‘Screen’ like so, then move the texture around to make sure it’s positioned the best.

• [03] Let’s try some images with dark backgrounds. We will be going from THIS IMAGE -> THIS IMAGE, using the following textures: 1 and 2 (made by me). Same technique applies as we used in the above two steps. Copy and paste the 1st texture on top of the photo and in the Layers Palette set the layer of the texture to ‘Screen’ (because it’s a dark texture) and then move it around to position it where you want it. I moved it all the way to the left so mine came out looking like this. Now you do the same thing with the 2nd texture and we get our finished product.

* There are many different ways you can use textures and messing with the Layers Palette and the settings/opacity there I find is the easiest. I mainly use ‘Screen’, ‘Lighten’ settings when using dark textures and ‘Soft Light’, ‘Darken’ and ‘Multiply’ when I work with light textures. That’s not to say that you can’t mix those, it all depends on the texture. Don’t be afraid to experiment, that’s how I learned. Also try messing around with Opacity and Fill settings as well, as they can help with toning down the textures and prevent them from overtaking the image.

I got asked a few times how I achieved this effect and since I find it to be relatively easy, I figured I’d do a quick tutorial for those that are interested. This tutorial was done is PS CS4.

Textures: A guide

A graphic maker is nothing without textures. Textures can give a unique atmosphere to an image, they can make your graphic uplifting or sad, romantic or angsty. Even when simply coloring caps, textures might come in handy to enhance the colors or to deepen the contrast. You should know upfront that experimenting is the keyword, and that knowledge of textures comes with photoshop experience.

This guide covers the following topics:
1. Downloading and organizing textures
2. Different types of textures
3. Blend modes
4. Layer masks
5. When to use which texture
6. Tips and tricks

This guide might be updated with more chapters and more details eventually.

In this guide I’ll be using textures by the following texture makers: accio-glow, callmebrandon, emmelia, finnickscleverfingers, lookbackseeforward, mirand-ah, olmes, planets-bend-between-us, rosebein, shocklock, shriekingshacks, wicked-fate, and yellowlemon

Note to these texture makers: if you want your textures removed from this tutorial, just drop me a line. I’m totally okay with not using your textures as an example, but please do consider that I’m giving you all the credit. Thank you.

Warning: image and text heavy!
