This method can be useful to complete your library for certain texture categories. If this is the case, be careful about the dimensions of the textures (don't choose them too small, because if you have to stretch them a lot you'll lose image quality) and also pay attention to the rights of use. Depending on the intended use, make sure you have the necessary licence.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-76b747e\" id=\"3-choisir-la-bonne-texture\" data-block-id=\"76b747e\"><style>.stk-76b747e .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #a6003c  ) !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">3.

Use a pixel editor such as Photoshop, ( or On1 Photo Raw for example) then import and apply your texture as a layer.

In my workflow, the first thing I usually do after choosing the blend mode is to adjust the opacity of the layer, then balance the contrast of the texture and\/or my image, correct the exposure and\/or mid-tones.
