I always assumed he lined his kitty litter box with them, but I could be wrong.

One way to do it is to take images of textures and store them on your hard drive. You can copy them and add them as a layer over the BG, then adjust layer blend mode and opacity to vary the appearance. But this isn't legal in DPC challenges, so I assume Joey has some other approach. Photoshop has "textures" that can be applied, and you can turn any image into a testure and save it in the textures library, but I've always assumed this is not legal since it's essentially a second image overlaid, and I have never done it for a challenge.

well Robert (thx for the comment}}) u just did tell us how to do it
think it all depends on what structures u choose to put over/under

so Evan in the toolmenu u have to choose the on top left just beside the little square if u click it u can pick an image and drop it into another and than play with the opacity till u like it
u might erase some parts u dont want to have double-layered
also with the dodge and burn can add some accents
flatten the images and u can do it over and again till u like what u see
i used 3 images for this 'gymps'
hope it makes sense for u Evan ;~)

Good find. This one goes directly to Joey's instructional post in that thread.

The best way to do it is to overlay textures into different blend modes and mess around in there. Whenever I go places with the camera I am always searching for textures, I got a whole folder full. :-)

There is a great free Photoshop TV podcast on iTunes explaining how to turn a photo into an aged antique shot...
