Using clone source or pattern luminance to create texture

You can add texture to an image by using the luminance of a clone source or a pattern. The method uses the light and dark areas in the clone source or pattern to produce the illusion of dents and bumps. To experiment with different looks, you can change the clone source or pattern.

clone source luminance

The clone source luminance helps produce a textured effect.

Any image effects or brushstrokes that you apply to the clone source result in different textures. For example, you can create raised areas in the clone by darkening the area in the source image.
