@jamibann Thank you, Issi! This was done the same way as the lighthouse. Just take a picture of a wall of peeling paint, or whatever, and lay it over a photo as a texture in Picmonkey. There's a tab under Textures that says something like "choose your own texture". That's what I use to pick a photo from iPhoto. :)
Julie - just wanted to say thanks for the explanations about the textures. I just got Picmonkey - it's a revelation for me - I love it! I could be on my computer for ever now though!!!
@jamibann Heh heh heh! You're welcome! When someone told me a year ago, "It's all about the editing," I had no idea what they were talking about. Now that I've been playing around with Picmonkey for a few months, I kinda get it. I'll never be a professional, but it's all about the fun of it for me. It is such a blast to fiddle with pictures to see what I can come up with. I hope you have as much fun as I do with it! God bless! :)
@juliedduncan Yeah. That's what I thought. It was a very polite message that informed me quite directly "Although we appreciate your comments, this looks a little more like spam. Five minute comment ban."
I thought, yeah, they are probably right.
This photo is fascinating and very creative. I suppose you used an overlay mode? I have a photo taken in a dry wash the day after a flash flood. It was in the desert, and even after one day the mud had already started to cake, and split. It's a cool photo because you can see the rain drops as well.
Anyway, was thinking I might use that as a background like you have done. However, not sure what landscape photo to use to combine it with...
Oh, really intriguing and colorful mud image! Yes, I started an album on iPhoto of just textures. Every time I see a potential, I take the photo and put it in the album. Then, it's easy to find the one I want when I want it to layer on as a texture. For now, I'm using Picmonkey to do this. Someday I will have Lightroom or Photoshop. :)
