So Glad to be back

Sorry for the long absence, but again life got in the way.   Doesn't it always?  I wish I could say I've been away on an extended vacation, full of tropical sun and blissful romance.  Not the case, unfortunately!  Seems we've had to take Watson to the vet twice in the last two weeks, seems Watson likes to put any little thing in his mouth to chew and eat, including, rocks,dandelions,twigs, not to mention an occasional doggy turd, ewwwwwwwwww!  Since he wasn't pottying as usual, fear that he may have a case of bowel obstruction from all the absurd oddities in his path.  The vet took some x-rays and checked a stool sample.  Happily the x-rays looked okay but his stool sample showed signs of too much bacteria, so pro-biotics was dispensed along with two other prescriptions to take.  So in all I've learned I have a dog who thinks he's a vacuum cleaner and veterinarians aren't cheap!  The last two weeks have left me and my creativity at odds and unwilling to play well together, so I'm trying to get back in the groove and start posting again.

Etched Dark & Rustic Texture Set

Etched-Dark-and-Rustic-Tones-Texture-Set
Six new textures for downloading plus an example of how I used them on an image.

Etched Dark and Rustic Tones Texture Set

Example on how I used:

1. Opened image, which becomes background layer.

2. Opened texture "Etched-1" which becomes layer 1, then set the layer mode to "Color Burn" at 62% opacity.

3. Duplicated background image and sharpened, which I set above layer 1, I set the layer mode at "Light Color" and the opacity at 35%.

4. I open and add the texture "Etched-2" which now becomes Layer 2 which sets above the background copy. I then set the layer mode to "Overlay" and the opacity at 71%.

5. I again make a duplicate of the background layer which becomes background copy 2, and set it as the top layer and set the layer mode to "Multiply" and the  opacity at 26%.

6. I now feel satisfied with my results, so I flatten all layers and save.


 Hope this is of some help and the textures are of some small use.
