Photoshop: A Better Method of Adding Texture in Photoshop

Photoshop has a number of texture filters that can be applied directly to an image.

I have found that a more realistic looking texture can be created by applying the texture to a layer above your image. I’ll show you a trick to accomplish this. I’ll also give you a quick rundown of what each of the texture filters looks like.
