A Texture Tutorial

Skeletal Mess (aka Ghostbones) has posted a wonderful tutorial about how he processes his Art. Not at all what I was doing! Do go and give it at try! I just love it when I am learning something new!
Here is the tutorial. The Resting Place
I also just posted it as kimi's Kreative homework #68, so do check in if you get a chance and let's see what the others have come up with. =)

Here is my take on his instructions.
Photobucket

I used the same two suggested textures with the same opacities that he used. I did have to go back and use levels to lighten it after changing my blend mode to multiply. Lastly I used the burn tool and burned around the edges. See how the dark edges make your eyes go inward?

Happy Weekend Everyone!!

Kimi,

Thanks for showing us this tut, I put the results up on the Homework page.

I do think it was much better with the levels and burning touches you added.

Kimi,
Love, love, love this! I collect photos of crosses and churches and this has to be one of my favorites! I'll have to try this technique on one that I have taken.

Would you allow me to add your beautiful image to my collection of favorites?

ah, another homework assignment ... your photo is gorgeous! I'll put up my result at the forum.
I also wanted to let you know that I added a link to your "black and white processing" tutorial in my last blog post (my blog: http://peggy-s.blogspot.com/), I hope that's okay.

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. Do This. Open a new levels adjustment layer. Click ok without making any changes. This now gives you a layer mask to paint on. Click on your mask to m...
