Hello everyone,

Recently, I've been drawn to photos of with texture in them (Click here for some great examples)

In an attempt to recreate this style, I took a photograph and added texture, played with the curves, levels, colour balance, and burning. All in all, I'm extremely happy with the end result.

But I want to know what you fine people think.

Before:

After:

Thanks!

The colour is great but I think the texture on the road surface tends to flatten the image so it loses some of its depth.

Limbo · 21-06-2007, 14:44

I'd like to see those colours without the textures...

the texture looks like it's been blown up, causing the stains to go a bit blurry.
take some photos of texture yourself, you wont get this problem!

aaw shoot.. I can't see them.

Anywho, I love the texture thing. Will definitely start experimenting with that!

maao · 25-06-2007, 17:31

btw, could you give me a quick recap of what you do to add it in photoshop?

shwizle · 30-06-2007, 14:34

take a photo of cool texture. take it make it grayschale with lots of contrast. then superimpose it over your original image and blend the layer.

much is just playing around.

good luck
