The Texture Touch

I am often asked if textures can be added portraits.  The answer is yes! Adding texture to portraits provides a timeless feel.  I designed the new Legacy Collection Vol 2 to blend easily with portraiture.  The legacy  textures all lend a soft glow with delicate brush strokes or subtle patterns.

  1. Drop and drag legacy #6 texture onto your image
  2. From the layers palette select the softlight blending mode
  3. Slide the opacity bar to 50%
  4. Add legacy #7 texture to the top 
  5. Select the overlay blending mode
  6. Apply a layer mask to the texture 
  7. Select a large round soft brush to brush away texture from your subject
