    For all you guys that complain about not seeing a link to the textures mentioned in this video: try Google search for "free textures photoshop". Just make a nice collection and then start playing around. Aaron here uses the blending mode of Soft light, but you can try others. Use a yellowish texture and blending mode Screen on 12% et voila: it looks like summer. Or use blending mode Multiply, put that at 50%, and mask your portrait 100% – it's art! Have a nice texture but don't like the color – use Color correction until you're satisfied, safe that one, et voila – you just created your own texture. Be creative – you can't go wrong here, just have results you either like or don't. And if you do, it will look awesome.

    Wait how can I add a non transparent texture to an image the same way or there is a different way? Because all of those textures are transparent.
