Hi Matt I probably would print this on a matte paper as it already has that canvas look - jimmy

Thanks, 3J .... I kinda thought a art paper would suit it best, then again, maybe the texture would not enhance the image. May I ask what brand of paper you use? I tired the HP matte and high gloss, and I am quite happy with it.

Well, I have never used textures before therefore wasn't sure how to approach the subject. I know that Ps has the texturizer tool... I assume that one downloads the texture and then applies it by using PS.....
Thank you for answering my question...

Hi Light50
I never heard of the texturizer tool. Here is how I add a texture.

- Open your chosen photo in Photoshop (it will become your background layer)

- Next, open the texture photo you want to apply - do a > Select All > Edit Copy > Edit Paste.

_ now size your texture (if you have to) ,to cover your background layer.


-Last try the different blending modes in your Layers Palette. ( I like Multiply or Soft Light, then adjust the opacity using the sliders to tone down the effect.

- Last, save your finished image.

I hope this helps. Don't hesitate to ask questions if my explanation is not clear - jimmy
