Spiff Up Flat Images with Textures [Photoshop Tip]

Even if you master the focus and composition of a photograph, it might come off as a bit too calm for certain uses. The Digital Photography School site explains how to apply interesting image textures to any photograph.

In the example shown at the DPS blog, the rough and slightly yellowed look of a scanned piece of paper is applied as a layer to an over-the-shoulder portrait, giving it a look and color tone that matches the look the model is giving off. For beginning Photoshop users, it's a great entryway into the art of applying just the right look to photos that lack for the right mood. Hit the link for the full step-by-step run-down, and tell us about your great texturing results (or post the pics themselves!) in the comments.
