An example of how textures can be applied during editing to add to the mood of a photo.
This is SOOC (straight out of the camera.) It's not horrible, but could use some interest.
Here is the finished product, applying some tonal work and a texture.
It adds a worn, almost fairytale look to the photo.
Here is another SOOC of one of my grandma's flowers. I actually happen to like it just the way it is, but I wanted to see what else I could do with it.
Here I added 2 different textures and did some tonal work.
