CoffeeShop “Silas” Fine Art Texture Set!

Today I was downloading my “real camera” images and the yellow flower image above is from that shoot. I need to find out what the name of that tree/shrub is later today. It was filled with yellow round flowers and had thorns on the limbs. Gorgeous! If you know what it is please leave a comment.

Today I have a new texture/overlay set I called “Silas” after my grandfather. This set contains three high resolution textures that you can use layered over images or as a pretty digital paper. I use these in multiply, screen, overlay or soft light blending modes on my image, and you can even blur them to add additional beauty and interest. I have a step-by step tutorial posted below.

The texture set download is toward the bottom of  this post.

CoffeeShop “Silas” Texture Tutorial:

Open your image in Photoshop or PSE.

Place the CoffeeShop  Silas Texture 3 on your image and transform it to fit.

Put this texture in Multiply blending mode.

Make a copy of the Texture layer and put it in Soft Light blending mode. This really brightens the image.

Add additional contrast by making a copy of the Background flower, dragging it on top of the layer, and placing it is Soft Light blending mode. Adjust the Opacity to taste.

For a more “oil-painting” effect, click to select the bottom texture layer that is in Multiply mode and Gaussian Blur it slightly to soften the texture. I used a setting of 7 in this example.

I think this turned out gorgeous! I would love to see your own edits using this texture set on my Facebook page.
