This weeks Friday Freebie is a vintage texture which is simple to use and gives amazing results. It’s a warm tone texture that combines patchy tones, a light weave texture and a hint of writing.

As with all textures it works best with photos that have large areas of bright tones such as this one which has loads of bright sky. All you need to do is paste your photo above the texture and set the blending mode. There are loads of different layer blending modes and they’ll all give a different look, some you’ll like and others less so but experimentation is the key to success.
Jump down to the end of this post to see three different looks for the same image.

Thank you so much for sharing and for all you share. Here is HDR image of a field of corn taken this morning in the rain at sunrise in rural Florida, USA. First time I’ve ever tried to do anything with a texture, not sure if this is a correct application or not. http://www.jhowdy.com/photos/i-rDtPFrQ/0/X3/i-rDtPFrQ-X3.jpg
Thanks Galvin. This was fun to work with. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for sharing this texture with us. It has come at the right time for me and I will use it with some of the photographs I have set aside for such an effect. Your freebies are an inspiration to us all and help us to explore and create. Thanks again.
