HaiQal | The Art of Texture

Here I use five type of texture, actually playing with texture is really simple procedure, just play with blending mode with different kind of opacity. I did not use dodge or burn effect on most my texture editing, I just use brush on the layer mask. To begin with texture work great with mute color picture or monotone kind of image. The hardest part is to get the right kind of blending option and opacity.

 

During my Mini Photoshop Workshops Editing I stress out that we must know the characteristic of "Vintage", "Retro" or "Classic" image, then only we can get a better result doing our texture work.

 

We must try to get a "Vintage Kind of Vision" in order to play around with our image. Without the right kind of"Vision" to me is like driving without any particular destination, you don't know what to reach and how to get there. So get the right "Vision" before any attempt to "Vintage" your picture.

 

I get that "Vision" even before I press the shutter button, I get that "Vision" as early as at the shopping mall when shopping for my son cloth, I try to get a "Cloth" like Denim Material above in order for me to reach my "Vision".

 

That is my way, my style, you can have your own, I just share my way of getting out my "Vision" to the world...
