Textures

[Evelyn]

Well, i love to work with textures... Some look better the others i guess.

I loosely erased the background and added two types of textures to it.
first one overlay,
two others one twice , colour burn 35% and with soft light 100%
Erasing bits of the fruit each time to my liking.
Burn tool for the edges,
Several crack brushes where used on top
and curves and hue saturation adjustment layers as well.
The two textures i used are on my flickr, under textures.
The original as well
Putting the url in the [img] bracket did not work, why?

IMG tags have a couple of problems. One is they usually break eventually, rendering their inclusion useless. But they also can be changed on the other end, leading to potential mischief and grief. And many sites (including this one) do not appreciate linking directly to images.
