Step 3. Open your stone texture file, and drag it into your face photo. Change the layer blend mode to multiply.

Any more info on how to do this (drag into) ??? someone has asked this question before (2 years ago) and yet no hints !

Tutorial sounds great HAD it explained the most important step i.e. step 3

Without explaining that step this tutorial is almost useless ! If one has to look for this answer in another tutorial on another site then why would they come back here at all ?!!!

Sorry if I may sound negative but I only mean some contructive criticizm and I thank all your sincere efforts.

Any real help is really appreciated

Cheers

Cool tut. I think it needs a bit of extra touched though.
Maybe you should use the “Displace” filter first (other tutorials show the way to do this) in order to make up for the cracking lines.
The crack line over the lips must have some bends over the lips and not going into a straight line I guess.

Good stuff. Keep on!

it has value… but it is too dark to be of real value… the effectiveness of the tecnique is not quite shown because it is all being blotted out so much… i’d lighten it up a great deal.

Very nice tutorial, clear and well-written. It’s rather an elegant look. The only thing I’d fix is to put it all on one page, but that’s the fault of the webmaster not the author. Bloody techies.
