The digiKam image plugin Apply Texture is a tool for apply decorative texture to an image.

KDE
Digikam

# Introduction

By adding texture to your image, whether color or black and white, you can make it look like an oil painting on canvas, an Old Masters etching, a Pop Art portrait composed of enlarged half-tone dots, or even a mural on a brick wall.The Image Apply Texture Image Editor menu can be used for that.

## Using the Plugin

### The Apply Texture Tool Dialog

Two options give you control over the texture applying on image:

Type: this option specifies the decorative texture style to apply under the image.

Relief: dragging this option to the right increases the appearance of depth or three-dimensionality of the texture on image.

## The plugin in action

A Paper texture effect apply to a photograph is available below. The original image is (1), the target image is (2). Relief factor used is 200.
