The Daily Texture for 06/18/2015
Antique Red
Today's Daily Texture is "Antique Red" and features muted old red brick tones. I paired this texture with one of my cardinal photos. After placing the photo on top of the texture, I masked away the background behind the bird to reveal the texture underneath. I also masked away quite a bit of the flowers {because they were starting to droop when I took the photo!}. TIP: Use your texture to "hide" parts of the photo which may not be appealing in the final image. After the masking was complete, I duplicated the texture layer and placed it on top, setting it to soft light at 100%. The bird became a bit too saturated at this point, but I loved the tones of the painted texture. So I went back to the bird layer and desaturated his color a bit in order to calm down his reds and bring him more in line with the tones of the texture. Like this texture? Buy it here for only $2. Commercial Use OK. |
