You can create a fine art look with your photograph
by simply applying a texture. A texture layer addition can increase the depth,
dimension, and drama of a photograph. It is one of the easiest ways to create a
more expressive image. A texture layer can be anything you wish, from painterly
looking brushstrokes, to a coarsely textured canvas, to old grunge
that appears in the viewfinders of antique cameras.
Texture can add more
personality to an image. You can make a digital image look like an old photo by
simulated film effects, or make a photo look more painterly or impressionistic,
or even create something more contemporary and abstract. Textures can be
applied to a still life, landscapes, portraits… anything goes!
For this photograph taken in Santorini, I added a beautiful texture called Brushed Rose from Flypaper Textures. This accentuates the color and texture throughout the image, creating an artistic look, and is very easy to do. You can save 15% on Flypaper Textures by using promotional code DEBS.
