Blend - Grass Texture, Mud Texture

[JAA]

If I have a nice grass texture and a dry mud texture, is there any way I could easily/randomly blend the two to make a new image where it looked like a randomly parched grass?

Put the grass layer above the dry mud layer.

Make a new layer above the grass layer and fill it with Clouds at maximum roughness.

Copy then delete the Clouds layer.

Apply the Paste Alpha plugin, set to - Shades of gray on clipboard.

Very nice tip @ardneh

The OP might usefully recolour the grass layer first to make it less green to add to the parched effect.

Another way could be to use the Lighten Mode setting:

Thank Pixey. I will try this tomorrow. Looks great.

This worked a treat. I have been going crazy creating loads of effects with this method. Its great fun. I am going to have to show you what I am doing with all this once I finish.
