The Texture Touch

I am often amazed at how many barns, silos, and corn cribs survive mother nature year after year. This corn crib sets in a valley of corn fields.  It may have been wind and hail or heavy snowfall that caused the roof to collapse. I do hope it is repaired this summer.  How often do you see "mother nature's fury" as they call it, in your area?

  1. Apply the heirloom #6 texture to your photograph
  2. From the layers palette select the softlight blending mode
  3. Reduce the opacity to half
  4. Add the heirloom #8 texture as the top layer
  5. Select the darken blending mode and set at 65% opacity
