Texture a very simple but effective effect for blending image in Photoshop. It makes the photo shimmer, very suitable for teen style today. In particular, it also helps to create the Bokeh (the effect of taking pictures of DSLR),… In general, depending on the image and the style you want, there are different types of textures, from shimmering to horror.
