I've gotten a couple questions recently about how I created some of my images that use texture overlays, so below is a video I created a couple years ago that explains this. For any photographers out there that purchased the Firenze Italian Textures Collection I offer here, you've seen this before as it comes with the set. But for those who haven't seen it, now you know.  Hope this is useful to someone out there. BTW, I have no idea who's voice that is in the video. Surely mine doesn't sound that dorky in real life... does it? I always hear myself sounding much cooler in my head. Finally, I have no idea why the video preview image looks so craptastic, but when you press play, everything clears right up. Trust me. Go ahead... give it a try.
