Textures are So Cool!

I learned a new technique in photoshop that I have been anxious to try.  It involves adding textures to photos.  I added a few textures to some of the pages in albums for clients recently but not on the actual portraits for framing.  I really, really like how they look!

The above picture is my original image and the image below is the same photo but with a texture added.  It gives the picture an entirely different look.


Here is another example.  Ya'll saw this on Friday for Jami's sneak peak.  I really like this photo.  The water, her blonde hair against the turquoise sky, the yellow flowers, and of course her pink tutu.


And here is the same photo with a little texture added to it. 


I know this grunge look isn't for every photo but it is so fun to do...and easy too!

  2. My daughter knows more about photoshop than I do. She plays with it all the time. Me not so much. Maybe one day.
    It's great to learn a new photo technique though. (So my daughter tells me! LOL)
    I'm really enjoying your pictures. I may be sending you a first class ticket to Florida to snap some for us. LOL!
