Texture Overlay

We're going to add a little extra oomph to some images today by adding a little extra texture to them!

1. Open your background image and texture image in Photoshop.
2. Copy your texture image by pressing "ctrl a" to select all and the "ctrl c" to copy.
3. Select your background image and press "ctrl v" to paste the texture over it.
4. In the layers palette, change the blend mode from "normal" to something else that works for your image (such as "multiply" or "screen.").
5. Create a layer mask on the texture layer by clicking on the "layer mask" icon.
6. Use the brush tool to erase areas of texture over the subject of your image.
7. Fine tune and enjoy.
