As far as I can explain without going too much into detail, a texture is a 'picture' of sorts that you can use to give your graphics color and 'texture'. For instance, you see the grungy kind of effect on my bottom Eragon banner? That's caused by a texture. |

A texture is basically that. Its an effect used to make a picture stranger, kinda, like in my Gerard waay one |

A texture is something that basically gives a picture, well, texture! For example, if I make a banner and I feel like something is missing, I can add a texture to give a vintage kind of look. A lot of the textures I use are set to Overlay or Softlight, but you can set them to anything you want. Sites like Misplaced Moments, Hybrid Genesis and Textura provide good textures. |

Layer mode is... like the screen, or hard light or what ever? |

Uh huh, thats right. Or you can use them as bases for your graphics, and put the picture on top of them, then crop out the background. |
