Note: I’m no longer using image mouse-overs for the Before/After as they do not work on touch devices such as iPads.
Last week I showed you the pre-processing on the Before image.
This week, I’ll show you how I textured the image.
First Texture
First I added Nougat, from the Craquelure Collection.
Blend Mode: Multiply: Opacity: 100%
I only did slight masking, so a lot of the texture shows on the Quince.
Final Texture and Tweaks
I then applied the 2nd texture, Novella. (Novella is currently on Zenfolio. Note: I liked the final texture combo so much, I created another texture called Epic, which is also in the Craquelure Collection. )
Blend Mode: Multiply: Opacity: 100%
I masked this one quite a bit on the quince, leaf and some of the background. After textures, the image was looking a bit flat, so I applied a levels layer adjustment to increase the contrast. Finally, I saw a few spots I wanted to retouch, so I did some final retouching. That’s it! Nice and simple.
The Layer Panel.
