IMG_4419b+green

I just wanted to try this so I would know how it was done. I should double check this, but I believe these were the steps I took:

1.Open “face” file, convert to B&W, and remove background

2.Adjust the contrast (i.e. adjust levels: dark up, mid up, low down)

3.Add a Gaussian blur - I used a setting of ~10

4.Save “face” file as PSD with new name – this will be the displacement map

5.Undo blur and level adjustment

6.Open texture file and then use the displace filter to open the map file – I used 25/25 for the settings

7.Copy the displayed image onto a new layer of the” face” file and experiment with blend modes

8.Past the texture as a new layer (bottom layer) of the “face file

9.Adjust the opacity of the displaced image (~80% - top layer)

 

Done
