Closed (sort of)
TEOM as you know it has been closed. I will keep it up for reference but it no longer will receive tutorial updates.
There are plans for a completely new site. If you'd like to be notified once the other site is up, simply subscribe to my mailing list.
Thanks for the support throughout all these years :)

The “manual” way…
The texture.
Create a new image.
» Settings: 5×5 pixels, 72 dpi, background color = transparent, image type = 16.7 million colors.
Zoom in the maximum you can so that you can easily work pixel by pixel.
Set the foreground color to black.
With the Paint Brush tool, make a simple pattern: can be a cross, a square, a diamond, etc.
» Settings: shape = square, size = 1, opacity = 100.
The photo.
Open your photo. Hit Shift + D to duplicate it. Close the original.
Duplicate the background layer.
Go to Effects – Blur – Gaussian Blur.
» Settings: radius = 5.
Change this layer’s blend mode to Screen.
Add a new raster layer.
Set the foreground to pattern. Set the “tiny texture” as the pattern.
» Settings: scale = 100%, angle = 0.
Change the layer’s blend mode to Overlay.
Quite simple, isn’t it?
