Texture refers to the properties held and sensations caused by the external surface of objects received through the sense of touch. Texture is sometimes used to describe the feel of non-tactile sensations. Texture can also be termed as a pattern that has been scaled down (especially in case of two dimensional non-tactile textures) where the individual elements that go on to make the pattern not distinguishable.

How does the human brain/skin detect textures and the difference between materials?
Q. Like how can we feel the difference between glass and hard, clear plastic? Sometimes we can even identify textures by scraping a chopstick against something and identifying it that way. How is this possible?

A. We have nerves everywhere, like in our fingers,letting us feel textures and such. Those nerves are connected to the brain telling the brain what kind of texture or substance it is, like a signal. When you are first born you start to recognize certain textures to certain objects. After that your brain starts to recognize patterns, like the rug is fluffy and not sharp or the cat is soft and not wet.

What is the use of textures in photoediting ? what does it do to a picture?
Q. I see a lot of textures being shown, but can't see how it creates a change in a picture.

A. Textures can be used as backgrounds or used to colourise/ texturise an image. If you copy and paste a texture on top of your image, you can play with the settings (in photoshop) to see what you get. Just go to blending mode and click one. Usually "soft light" or "overlay" gives the best effect but it depends on the colour and darkness of the texture.

A. There are 2 different things that are called textures in Photoshop. The one you use will depend on your purpose and your texture image. The first type of texture is used from Filter>Texture>Texturizer . You'll need a full sized page of texture for this, formatted in psd. The Texturizer allows you to load custom textures but does not retain them. To load a Texture: Filter > Texture > Texturizer In the Texturizer window, click the right facing triangle next to the Texture field and select Load Texture Browse to your psd file and load it Once loaded, you can use it to texturize a layer The second way to apply a texture is in the Layer Styles under Pattern Overlay. To load a custom texture here, you have to load a custom… [cont.]
