Burnt Paper Texture Package
Answered
I've installed the Burnt Paper Texture Pack. How do I get it to work? I don't get the black or paper appearance, it just looks like texture on the full image.

A screenshot showing us what you are seeing and the settings being used would be quite helpful.

As in the pack example, the image should only be visible in the center portion of the texture. I tried various blending settings with no luck. Could it be layers and masking?

If you want to follow a video explaining textures, here are 3 from the library.

Here is the library main page if you need it.

Blending should work, where did you set the blend mode?
You might try changing the mode shown below.

I went through all of the blending options and modes (Normal, Lighter, Subtle, etc.). I can get it where I see the blank paper texture but my image is not showing through like the example.

Here is the best I have. Not sure how to get the sides black.

I just installed these textures and took a look. I can't get any of them to look right.
I assume you want your image to look like it's on burned paper. If I figure it out, I'll let you know.

I’ve been playing with it too and having the same lack of success.
Since this was a Plus perk, the question could be asked there and maybe we can get Dylan to tell us how he did it.

All of the Burnt Paper Textures have a white background surrounding the paper. The black background we see in those examples has to be coming from elsewhere.
I’m away from my computer for a while so I can’t play with it but I suspect it’s either a Local Adjustment with the black painted in or some kind of Effects like an inverted Curve that has the subject area masked out. That would allow the Blending Mode to prevent the Texture from affecting the black area and only show up over the subject.

So, this is the best that I was able to do...
Unfortunately, I was not able to do this with the Textures Filter. I had to use Layers to get it to work. That's because I needed to mask out around the texture in order to hide the parts of the image outside of the texture boundry and the Filter doesn't have that option.
So, here is what I have, the image is on top with the Texture below it in the Layer stack. I used the Color Range selector on the white area of the Texture to quickly create a mask and copied that mask to the image Layer. If you don't delete the mask from the Texture or add a color fill under it, then the white area will show as transparent.
Then I set the blend mode of the image Layer to Multiply as shown below.
Note: I noticed after I was done that the edges of the texture extend past the canvas and get cut off. I should have used transform to scale down the texture a bit so that it was visible all around. This would need to be done before making the mask otherwise the copied mask wouldn't match the texture.

It seems that resizing the texture isn't as easy as it sounds. Once it was resized, the color Range selector no longer worked as it did before, so I ended up using AI Mask on the Texture instead. It took a lot of fiddling around to get the mask to work properly, but I got it eventually.

I appreciate the help. I will give it a go!

This is what I came up with.
I started by creating a New Canvas the same dimensions as my original photo. I added a Color Fill set to black.
Next I loaded my original photo and on its Layer I applied the Burnt Paper Texture.
I used the New Stamped Layer then turned off the original photo Layer.
On the merged Layer I created a Layer Mask to reveal the black background.

I think that is it. Here is my test following your process (keeping with the T-Birds theme)! Thanks for the help!
