Enhanced Color Tutorial - The Steps
- I suggest downloading the same image I’m using, only it’ll be bigger than the previews above. You need to download the image without any effects… so download this.
- Start off by going into the toolbar at the top in Photoshop and select LAYER, then select NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER, then select BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST… a little box should come up asking you to name the layer (note this box might not come up & it might take you straight to the brightness/contrast settings), just click OK. Then set the brightness to +48, leave the contrast set to 0. Click OK.You should notice that your images brightness has now changed slightly.
- Now go into Photoshop and go upto the toolbar again and select LAYER, then select NEW FILL LAYER, then select SOLID COLOR… Like on the last step, a little box might pop up asking you to name the layer, just click OK (note that the box might not pop up for everyone - if it doesn’t, just carry on with the steps)… fill the color with 5E88BC. Look at mine! Now once that’s done, go to your layers pallet and select the TOP layer and then find the drop down menu which displays “Normal”. Change ‘normal’ to ‘lighten’.
- Next you need to download a texture, so download this. Then open that up in Photoshop, copy it by using the following shortcut CTRL/Command + C then click on the image you’ve been adding effects to and paste it CTRL/Command + V. (using your keys on your keyboard again) Then find your layers pallet and select the TOP layer and then find the drop down menu which displays “Normal”. Change ‘normal’ to ‘overlay’.
- This step is very similar to the one above - download this. Then open that up in Photoshop, copy it by using the following shortcut CTRL/Command + C then click on the image you’ve been adding effects to and paste it CTRL/Command + V. (using your keys on your keyboard again) Then find your layers pallet and select the TOP layer and then find the drop down menu which displays “Normal”. Change ‘normal’ to ‘lighten’.

How to use Textures Tutorial
June 29, 2008
This how to use textures tutorial will explain how to alter your images and add more interest to it.
This tutorial helps in many ways. Improving your knowledge of Photoshop, learning new things and how to use all types of textures to improve your designs - textures are extremely useful when you have boring images that need sprucing up.
Once you know how to do this you’ll end up tweaking it to suit your image, using different textures and discover more in Photoshop.

How to use Textures Tutorial - The Steps
- Using textures can be extremely useful, but when starting out many people (myself included) have asked “how do I actually use these textures?” This tutorial will hopefully explain how to.
- First of all, open an image you want to add a texture to - or you can download the one I have used above. Download Me!
- Now open Photoshop if you haven’t already and open your own image or the one you recently downloaded. From here you can either use a texture of your choice or the one I used in the above image. If you want to use mine then download me!
- Open whatever texture you are going to use in Photoshop and then select the texture - now use the copy short cut. CTRL/Command + C - then go to your image and use the pasting shortcut CTRL/Command + V
- You’ll now see your texture is on-top of your image. Now you need to go to your layers pallet - if you can’t find it, press the F7 button on your keyboard and it will appear or disappear… either way, you’ll notice where it is. So, assuming you’ve found it, have a little look at it and try to locate the little drop down which currently displays the word “Normal”. Select that and change it to “Screen”.
- Hopefully your image has turned out just like mine - so, using textures is a simple matter of copying a texture, pasting it onto an image and then changing the layer mode (normal/screen) to something other than “Normal”. When you want to have a play, try changing it to “Overlay” or “Soft light” - each and every one does something different and they work differently for all types of textures.
- Aaannddd you’re done. I hope this tutorial was helpful and made sense - if you do have any questions regarding this “How to use Textures” Tutorial then feel free to leave a comment below and we’ll do our best to help you.

Vintage Effect Tutorial - The Steps
- For this tutorial I would suggest you use the image I have used - download it!
- Assuming you’ve downloaded the image I’ve used I’m going to ask you to open it in Photoshop and continue read…
- Firstly make sure you have your “Layers” section - Look at mine! If you don’t have it then press F7 on your keyboard - or go -> Window -> Layers (Window can be located along the top of your computer, along side File & Edit - make sure you are in Photoshop though)
- Assuming you have Layers, I want you to look at it closely and hopefully you’ll see three miniature tabs: Layers, Channels, Paths - Photoshp automatically has it set to Layers - Please click ‘Channels’.You should now see this - once you’ve got the same as I have, please click on the one called blue and then select all (Mac users: Command/Apple + A Window users: CTRL + A) - you should see little running ants/dotted lines going around the image. Once you’ve got that, please copy the image - (Mac users: Command/Apple + C Window users: CTRL + C)
- Once you’ve copied the image then please press CTRL/Command + D - you’ll notice the running ants/dotted lines have disappeared. Then please click on the very top layer in your Layers section - the one that’s coloured - You’ll notice your image has gone back into colour - Your layers will look like this.
- Now you need to look at your layers section and click Layers - once you’re on layers, please paste what you copied a minute ago - CTRL/Command + V - You should now have two layers (like mine), one coloured and another black & white - assuming you do, please merge your layers - to do that go ->Layers -> Merge Visible - once that’s done you’ll be left with one layer.
- Now for the easy part… go -> Layers -> New Fill Layer -> Solid Layer - firstly a little box should appear, like this - change your mode from Normal to Multiply and Opacity from 100% to 26% - like mine.Once you’ve pressed OK another box will appear asking for a colour - enter FDDA39 and press OK - you’ll notice a new layer has appeared.
- Now we have to do the same all over again… go -> Layers -> New Fill Layer -> Solid Layer - in the little box that appears change the mode to Softlight and Opacity to 22% - then when the colour box appears add the colour FFABE8
- And that’s it. With the two coloured layers you can always lower or raise the opacity to give it a different feel.
- Aaannddd you’re done. I hope this tutorial was helpful and made sense - if you do have any questions regarding this Vintage Effect Tutorial then feel free to leave a comment below and we’ll do our best to help you.

Grunge Tutorial
June 29, 2008
This Grunge Tutorial will explain how to make the below texture.
These types of textures are extremely useful on almost all types of graphics; icons, collages, layouts and whatever else you’re making.
Knowing how to make these is really useful, often you can’t quite find the exact type of scratchy texture you want so it’s great when you can make it yourself.
Feel free to request a tutorial similar to this Grunge Tutorial.
Before
After
Grunge Tutorial - The Steps
- First of all you need to download this file - it contains the slightly bigger before image and also 5 other textures I’ll use in this grunge tutorial. Make sure to save them somewhere you’ll be able to find them and once that’s done open them in Photoshop.
- The grunge tutorial first step: Take the buckets image and duplicate it three times. To duplicate it go -> Layer -> Duplicate Layer… or use the shortcut: CTRL/Command + J - If you do this right, you’ll have four layers (3 newly duplicated ones and the original).
- Now change the layer type of each duplicated layer… to do that select the layer, and go to your layers pallet, change the drop down menu from ‘Normal’ to the one I say below
- First Duplicated Layer (closet to original): Screen
- Second Duplicated Layer: Overlay
- Third Duplicated Layer (furthest from original): Screen
- Select your 1st layer (closet to original) and then go -> Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur… - set the radius to 5.0 and press OK
- Select your 2nd layer, you’re going to add the Gaussian Blur again, but this time just press CTRL/Command + F
- Select your 3rd layer (furthest from original) and do exactly like we did before. CTRL/Command + F to add more gaussian blur to this layer.
- Now select your original layer and go -> Filter -> Blur -> Radial Blur… - then click here - and change your settings of radial blur so they match mine…Note: On the right hand side of the settings you’ll see “Blur Center”, just click and drag it so that it moves to the top left hand corner - again, to match my own.
- Select your 1st layer and then press CTRL/Command + F - this will add the radial blur to this layer.
- Select your 2nd layer and then press CTRL/Command + F - this will add the radial blur to this layer too.
- Select your 3rd layer and then press CTRL/Command + F - this will add the radial blur to this layer also.
- Now we need to do the Gaussian Blur all over again - but this time on all of the layers, not just the duplicated ones. So, go -> Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur… and change the radius to 5.0 and press OK.
- Select your 1st layer and then press CTRL/Command + F - this will add the gaussian blur to this layer.
- Select your 2nd layer and then press CTRL/Command + F - this will add the gaussian blur to this layer.
- Select your 3rd layer and then press CTRL/Command + F - this will add the gaussian blur to this layer.
- Okay… the more exciting step: If you haven’t already, open the textures (in photoshop) you downloaded in the file earlier. Each of them are named ‘Texture Tutorial 1′ through 5. And all you’ll be doing is adding them to your buckets image and changing the layer type.
- Find ‘Texture Tutorial 4′, it’s a black texture with very little markings. Select it (CTRL/Command + A), copy it (CTRL/Command + C), go to your buckets image and paste it (CTRL/Command + V) - then go to your layers pallet and change the drop down menu which says “Normal”, change that to “Soft Light”.
- Find ‘Texture Tutorial 1′, it’s a white texture with gold/brown markings. Select it (CTRL/Command + A), copy it (CTRL/Command + C), go to your buckets image and paste it (CTRL/Command + V) - then go to your layers pallet and change the drop down menu which says “Normal”, change that to “Soft Light”.
- Find ‘Texture Tutorial 2′, it’s a black texture with white markings. Select it (CTRL/Command + A), copy it (CTRL/Command + C), go to your buckets image and paste it (CTRL/Command + V) - now it needs to be inverted (CTRL/Command + I) - once that’s done then go to your layers pallet and change the drop down menu which says “Normal”, change that to “Color Burn”.
- Find ‘Texture Tutorial 5′, it’s a grey, concrete kind of texture. Select it (CTRL/Command + A), copy it (CTRL/Command + C), go to your buckets image and paste it (CTRL/Command + V) - then go to your layers pallet and change the drop down menu which says “Normal”, change that to “Soft Light”.
- Anddd….. your’e done! I hope this grunge tutorial was helpful, however if it was a little confusing and you’d like some help then feel free to contact us regarding this grunge tutorial - we are more than happy to help with anything.
