Use your own image as a Texture!!



Click on image for a bigger view.

Loading texture to your image.

First, you will need to save your jpeg image as a PSD file for this to work.
Now, open your jpeg image
Go to Filters, Texture, Texterizer, Load Texture.
You will get a menu of PSD files. Find the one you just saved.
You will want to set your scaling to 100% so it will match your image.
Play with the relief slider until you like the effect.
Play with the light.

Here is a screen shot for the ones that will ask how to load a texture. You click on the circle with the triangle on it.

It is that easy... this will add a new dimension to any type of image. Take a look at the images that have been posted in
kimi's Kreative homework this week.

Have Fun!!
Check back tomorrow for a free scrap paper using this technique. Subscribe today so you don't miss out. ;)

Edit: I have changed the top picture so the effect shows more. This is a free image that may be found at FREE PHOTOS BY DENNIS HILL AND FRIENDS
and I know I am late on the scrap paper but work called.
It is coming soon. :)

If you have a rar. folder that you need to unzip. You can download a free trial of winRAR here. CNet has a very good record of safe downloads. It is a 40 day free trial. I downloaded it a couple of days ago and it worked great. When your 40 days are up, you can uninstall it from your computer and be back to normal. Next... If you come to a texture that is just an image such as the Antique1 texture. Right click and copy it. This will copy the image to your computers clipboard. Open CS or Elements. Hit Ctrl N for a new document. Your computer will remember the copied size and make a new document to fit it. Once your new blank document is opened. Hit Ctrl V, this paste your image into the document. Now save in your texture folder. Another thing; if you watch the video but you are working in Elements and don't have a layer mask button.
