Photo Textures

Try photo textures and add a bit of extra to your images

Sometimes a plain background is just the ticket. Adding a photo texture, though, can often be what pushes your design from “Nice” to “Holy cow!”

You can also place a texture onto a photo for a different feel — create additional granularity and depth for an artistic look.
