Step 2 - Preparing the scene

Open the image, right click on the layer in the layers tab and click
“duplicate layer”. Click on the newly duplicated layer and desaturate
it (CTRL+SHIFT+U). Now set this layer to “soft light”. This will give
the image more consistency. Now paste the texture and put it between
the original image and the duplicated layer (fig. 3).




Step 3 - Texturing

Click on the texture layer and set it to “color burn”. This blending
mode may work on another image so it’s best to play around with this.
The best blending modes are “multiply”, “color burn”, “overlay” and
“soft light”. Choose the one that suits the image best. Now the image
should look something like fig. 4. Starting to look good now. We’re
almost done now…







Step 4 - The finishing touches

Now for the finishing touches…

First thing that bothers me is that the texture is all over the
image now. Erase the parts that you don’t want, leaving texture only on
the face or the desired area you want to texture. Leaving the texture
all over the image will make it look very flat.

Another thing that bothers me is the fact that the image is too
orange, I want it to give it a dead look. Create a hue/saturation layer
above all this and play with the settings (I used these settings: hue:
+170 and saturation: +29 then set the blend mode to “soft light”).

One more thing needs fixing now…there are some light areas in the
background with seem distracting to me, so I just created a new layer
above everything used the brush tool to paint those black.

That’s it…I hope you didn’t fall asleep during this tutorial but I
wanted to explain most of the things related to texturing. Now go and
have fun…and remember “experimenting is the key”.
