Now, use the resize handles on the texture layer to reposition, rotate, and resize the texture so it fits over the photo. Step 3: Resize and position the texture so it fits the image (Don’t worry if it looks too small, you can easily resize smart objects without stretching the pixels!) The texture overlay will appear within the document and will still have. Then I drag a texture overlay over the open document and release the cursor. To do this, I first open a folder of images alongside my open Photoshop document. This brings them in as smart objects, which creates other added benefits, such as non-destructive scaling, etc. I like to drag-and-drop my texture layers over the open image file in Photoshop. Step 2: Add a texture overlay to the open Photoshop document This could be from a file in Lightroom, Bridge, ACR, or by simply going to the open Photoshop application and using the menu ( File > Open). Open the image you want to work on in Photoshop in whatever way you prefer. You’ll want to make sure that you can view the Layers panel (go to Window > Layers if you don’t see it). In the tutorials below, I am using the Inked Overlays pack.

How to add texture files to on1 photo raw how to#
In this article, I’ll show you how to layer textures to create a similar effect in Photoshop, ON1 Photo RAW, and Luminar 4. And, along with adding textures, I also have a lot of fun with layering more than one texture on top of the other to intensify the effect and give the image more depth. It’s a fun way to add a creative look that cannot be easily replicated in-camera. I love both creating and playing with textures on my images in post-processing.
