I was looking through a Photoshop book I hadn't looked at in some time and stumbled across the following...
Hadn't seen this technique before, so I decided to give it a try. For such a simple technique, I was impressed with the results.
Attached is an example applied against an image that had not yet been manipulated. It would probably generate some interesting results on images that already included texture and/or brush strokes.

So, here’s another in the just beginning series of “mini-challenges” in the Photo-based Art category.
Unlike “official challenges” for this forum posted here, this one will be self-contained within this thread. It is intended as a souce of amusement until the next official challenge is posted.
The rules are more-or-less the same:
* It’s a challenge, not a contest -- intended to sharpen skills and to share techniques.
* Everyone who participates is a winner.
* There’s no expiration date.

#2 – Using the Lighting Effects filter to apply Texture
Guidelines:
1. On an image of your choice (already doctored or plain, never been messed with) use the method described above to “give it some additional texture and/or depth.”
2. When done, reply to this thread and attach your work (don’t forget the 100K size limit). If you would, please nclude the “before” image as well as the after (like I did) so others can appreciate your handiwork. Note: Multiple entries O.K.
3. Have fun.
4. Since this mini-challenge is based on a technique, no need to elaborate on the technique, unless you get really wild and crazy!
5. Have fun
OK. It’s time to have some fun.

"If you want to give your (images) an impasto effect (make them look as though you used very thick paint), choose Filter > Render > Lighting Effects. In the Lighting Effects dialog choose DIRECTIONAL as your lighting type and BLUE as your texture channel."
