Here’s the finished results, click read more for the tutorial and textures available free for downloading.
Here's a simple technique to give an image a soft vintage feel, with a raised painterly effect.
Here's what I did, as always your image may come out with different results, so it goes with textures,presets and actions.
So if you're still with me, lets go for it.

Here’s the original image I started with.
Step 1. Start with a photo, this will become your background layer.

Oil Painting One texture
Step 2. Apply my "Oil Painting One" texture on top of your photo, this becomes Layer 1.
Step 3. Now set the "Oil Painting One" texture "Layer" Mode to "Darken" and the "Opacity" at 38%.

Here’s what it looks like after applying the "Oil Painting One" texture .
Now lets move on.
Step 4. Now make a duplicate of the "Background Layer" and drag it up so it's on top of "Layer 1"
Step 5. Now for the last step, while still on the duplicate "Background Layer" set the "Layer" Mode to "Multiply" and the "Opacity" to 68%.

Here’s what I came up with for the finished results.
That's it, pretty simple huh!
As always, thanks for stopping in, and while you're here, you might as well take something home with you.
Peace

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI´ve found at flickr your Tutorial called "A Simple Texture Tutorial" and would like to try it (I am a Beginner), but cannot find the texture "RAGE TEXTURE", used in this Tutorial.
Would you be so kind and upload it?
Thank you very much! It´s a pleasure to use your textures and tutorials help the beginners a lot!
Best regards,
Tanja
Elleif,
ReplyDeleteYou might want to return to the tutorial at Flickr, I made the words RAGE TUTORIAL link to the texture you seek, which by the way is the next image posted after the tutorial.
