How to use Textures & Overlays in Photoshop


⓵ Open Your Image

⓶ Select File > Place (or "Place Embedded")
⓷ Select a Texture/Overlay & Click "Place"
⓸ Position the Texture/Overlay, then click the Check Mark ✔ to place the Texture/Overlay
⓹ Change the Blend Mode to suit your needs - we suggest Multiply, Soft Light or Screen

*NOTE: If you are using a PNG overlay, as opposed to a JPEG overlay (such as our Leaf & Branch Overlays), you do not need to use a blend mode since the PNG files are working with transparent pixels. Simply place the image and that's all there is to it :).
