Texture Tuesday "People Edition"

Monday, June 20, 2011 · Posted in , , ,

This week's challenge over at Kim Klassen's Cafe is to include one of her textures in a photo using a person. Well I still have a number of photos left to edit from my niece's graduation so I thought one of them would be perfect for this challenge. So here is the photo I chose.



Her late grandfather worked on the railway and they were very close so it was important for her to get pictures that included the railway.
I edited this photo in Photoshop Elements 9. Firstly I did a crop on the photo then I added Kim's Paper Stained Grunge texture and set the blending mode to multiply at 61%. I then used the erasure to take away most of the texture from her skin, I had the blending mode on the erasure set to 61%. I think the finished photo shows has the old photo feel I was looking for in the shot.
