Some Of My Images Used As Book Covers - before and after Part 2

 Book Covers - Before and After Part 2 Some time ago I created a post showing some of my images used as covers for books.  I am always curious how my wok is used, sometimes I am disappointed, but most of the time it is a pleasure to see the designs and the usage. So here we go: In these cases my original image hasn't been changed that much, most of the time only a crop and of course title and author.  Sometimes it is hard to make out my own design as you can see in this image:  My images are available for licensing through my agencies Trevillionimages   and   Arcangel Images or find something on my home page. Thanks very much. Dirk

 New Set of 40 White - Grey Neutral Grunge Textures


If you want to add some interest and textures to your photos this is the texture pack for you. Add these without overly influencing your image's colours (at least not too much ;-) !










These are available on my website for 17,90 € --> HERE


Here are some before/ after images of works where I used some of them.

Some tips for the use of these textures. 

Using these textures the usual way - meaning dragging the texture above your photo/ image (e..g. in Photoshop, Affinity Photo...) and applying a blend mode such as Multiply / Overlay or Soft Light should guarantee a decent result. 

Combine several textures on different layers to get an more intense texture effect. 
Vary the blend modes, e.g. combine Multiply on one texture with Overlay using a different texture. 

You might have to make some adjustment to colours, contrast and light.

As mentioned above they are designed to have a rather low impact on the colours of your designs. They also work great as neutral backgrounds. You can tint them by applying a Hue/Saturation layer and checking the "colorize" box.


Thanks for your visit.
