This post will give you some basic info on Textures and how you can use them to achieve creative effects both in graphics and photography!
Textures are a great way to enhance a photo, using it to achieve a certain ‘feel’ and depth; to suit the concept of the image. Textures are also useful in emphasising the main object of the photo so that it is clear from its surroundings and can be used to get the right tone for a certain effect.
Take a look at the following example:
Before –> After
In the above example, textures have been used to gain an old yet trendy effect. The focus is more clear on the flowers in the second image as the corners have been darkened by a texture which will be available to download soon! Another texture has been used to gain the tone (purple shades) to match the title ‘Passion’. Textures combined with other features such as sharpening the image can result in a more meaningful photo 
Intresting, I always used textures for manipulation in a totally different way. But this is really intresting. Thanks
