Texture Layers with Tony Sweet

Adding a texture to an image can often create an entirely new look for a photograph, transforming it into an intriguing hybrid between photography and painting, or adding a worn and weathered feel to the image. In this episode, host Seán Duggan is joined by photographer and workshop leader Tony Sweet for a discussion on photography, magic, texture, and the role that improvisation often plays in many art forms, including photography and post processing. Tony also demonstrates some cool and useful texture layering techniques in Photoshop CC.
