Bokeh Tutorial and Bokeh Texture - by h-d-stock -

As you know that bokeh can be beautiful for photos.
Well, if you're wondering how you can make bokeh for photos, but you don't have a DSLR or even a lens. Maybe you still have just a compact camera. No matter which camera you have. However, you will be lucky if you can do with photoshop. Here is bokeh tutorial by h-d-stock that I found her projects on deviantart. If you want to take a peep at her photos, click here

Hope you like this bokeh tutorial. It's really easy, isn't it?

Tutorial - How To Apply Textures - Part 3



by: flickr.com/photos/bpuppy
Bpuppy wrote this tutorial on his flickr. Hopefully, this is very helpful for all of you.


The great benefit I love about textures that it gives your photo a more artistic feel but if it is not done properly the textures will add distraction to your photo.

First thing first:
1.Textures do not work for every photo so do not feel bad if the texture does not work on a particular photo.
2. Sometimes you can spend hours playing textures so be patient.
3. You can use multiple textures on a photo but don't over do it.

On to the tutorial.


Here is the beginning photo


Here is the final results of the texture on the photo



1. Open the photo that you desire to use the texture on.

2. Open the texture that you desire to use.
a. The texture that I used can be found here:


3. Copy and paste the texture on the photo.
a. Select All (Ctrl+A) on the texture
b. Copy (Ctrl+C) the texture

3. Select the photo

4. Paste (Ctrl+V) the texture on the photo.

5. Resize (Ctrl+T) the texture over the photo.

5. You have various ways to blend the texture on the photo I generally go with 3 blend modes:
a. Multiply – dark grunge look
b. Screen – old worn page look
c. Overlay – antique grain look

6. For this photo I decided to go with the Multiply blend mode.




7. Now adjust the Opacity level of the texture layer to bring the subject in the photo out more. In this photo I set the opacity level to 82%.




8. Finally I generally remove or lower the texture blend over the subject.
a. Create a layer mask on the texture layer.




b. Select the paint brush tool.
c. Make sure the foreground color is black to remove the texture completely or gray to lighten the blend of the texture layer.
d. Paint in the layer mask the area you want to remove or lower the blend of the texture.


That's it. Enjoy!!
