groovadelic Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Ive been searching through all of the tut pages, but cant find a thing. i was wondering how do i take an existing image and use a texture on it? Like say i have a silhouette, wanted to leave the background (that is black) but take the silhouette and put an image in it (like a texture.) can someone give me step by step of it? please?!? -Groove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Nab Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I can give you a couple of possible solutions: 1. Use the Alpha Displacement plugin with the texture, using the silhoette- whatever as your map -- the texture will then 'bend' to the shape you want it to. 2. On 1 layer, stick your silhoette, and on a layer on top of it stick your texture. Then go to layer blend mode -- overlay, Screen, or Multiply. These should be the ones that work in this case (If the abckground of your silhuette is white or black). Hope I helped to answer your question, Nab Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever.

salu Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 what nab said and you could use the magic wand tool and then add a new layer and make your pattern inside the selected area and Quote Deviant Art page of cookies I = She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Nab Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 or better yet -- alpha mask plugin! Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever. We should go snowboarding some time."~ 007 Nab. Ish. PDN Gallery | I Made a Deviant Art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
