How to Create a Dusty Texture FromScratch
In this tutorial, we'll create a dusty overlay texture from scanned paper, and I will show you how to apply this texture to your image.
I created Dusty Textures Packthe same way for myGraphicRiverportfolio.
Tutorial Assets
- A sheet of craft paper or any other paper with a similar structure.
- A scanner that has the ability to scan A4-sized paper.
- Any photo on which you want to apply the texture. You can find some free photos onUnsplashandPixabayor buy high-quality photos onPhotoDune. I chosethis photofrom Unsplash.
1. How to Scan the Paper
Step 1
Make sure that your paper is not too wrinkled, because this can create blurred areas on your texture.
Step 2
Then we need to prepare the scanner glassto avoid stains or unwanted elements on our texture. You can use a wet wipe for glasses to clean the glass.
Step 3
Once you have cleaned the scanner glass, put your paper inside the scanner.
Step 4
Set the following settings in your scanner preferences: A4 paper size, 300 dpi. Then start scanning. The color of our scanned paper can be different from the color of our paper, but it is much more important for us to preserve the structure.
2. How to Prepare the Document
Step 1
UseControl-Nto create a new document and use thefollowing settings:3000 x 2000 px; 300 dpi.
Step 2
Go toFile>Placeand put your paper scan inside the document.
Step 3
Resize your image to the borders of the document and clickEnter.
3.How to Create a Dusty Texture From Scanned Paper
Step 1
Right Clickon the paper layer and selectRasterize Layer.
Step 2
Now we need to invert the image. Select the layer and hitControl-I.
Step 3
Use theShift-Control-Alt-Bkey combination and set the following settings:Reds: 40%; Yellows: 60%; Greens: 40%; Cyans: -25%; Blues: -25; Magentas: 80.
Step 4
After that, useShift-Control-Alt-L to add Auto Contrast to your layer.
Step 5
Go toImage>Adjustments>Brightness/Contrastand use the following settings:Brightness: -105; Contrast: 95.
Step 6
Right Clickon the layer and then selectDuplicate Layer.
Step 7
Select the copy of your layer, and then use Control-T and Rotate it180°whileholdingShift.
Step 8
Change the Blending Mode of your layer to Lighten.
Step 9
Select your layers by holdingShiftand thenRight Click>Merge Layers.
Step 10
Select your new layer and then go toImage>Adjustments>Exposure and set the following settings: Exposure: 0,00; Offset: +0,005; Gamma Correction: 1,00.
Step 11
Now let's make our texture just a bit more detailed. Make a Duplicate of the layer.
Step 12
Select your new layer and then go toImage>Adjustments>Shadows/Highlightsand set the following settings:Shadows Amount: 40%;Highlights Amount: 0%.
Step 13
Go toFilter>Other > High Passand set the following settings:Radius: 15 px.
Step 14
Change theBlending Mode of the layer to Overlay and set theOpacity to 30%.
Step 15
Merge Layers to one and Rename it "Dusty Texture".
This is how our texture will look after all the manipulations listed above:
4.How to Add a Dusty Texture to the Photo
