Applying a texture to a photo...

I love textures added to my photos.  Textures can add a photo artistry effect, dimension, and interest to a photo.  There are a lot of websites that have textures.  Many offer free textures along with packages for purchase.  Some of my favorites places to find textures are : 2lilowls, shadowhousecreations, and kim klassen.  If you have never applied a texture, here is a short youtube video on how to apply a texture.  She is using the full version of photoshop, but it works pretty much the same in photoshop elements.  I hope you take time to try this technique. You might be surprised at how ordinary pictures become extra special.

You can copy the link to take you to the video...I tried embedding it, but it did not seem to work.
