Hello

Please help

I believe what i am trying to achieve is easy but i am a PS Novice so not quite sure how to get this done. I am trying to replace the yellow in the below logo to a salt/sugar like texture, so that it gives off a handmade art feel. I've seen this being done with text, just wondering how to achieve the same with an object.

Thanks in advance

    If you mean you want an image of sugar to appear then

    Place a sugar image above it. Alt click on the border between the sugar layer and the object so a liitle arrow appears. The sugar image will not be clipped to the object

    If that is not what you were after - please ask further

    You have the yellow on a layer all you need do is add a layer style to it. Layer styles have all sort of layer effects satin overlays textures patterns, contours. 

    If I had a logo that simple I would create a custom shape so I could drag out one any size I needed and then style the shape layer.

      Hello Dave,

      Thanks for the help & demonstrative images. Nearly what I was getting at! I wanted to try and keep some of the natural grainy edges instead of the sharp edges the logo has,

      Little like this art (couldn't find a simple one):

      Hi

      just open up the smart object and use a small brush to add a few dots to the yellow logo layer


      Thanks for this Dave!

      I couldn't get the hang of the opening smart object part but i found an alternative - i used the splatter paint brush to go around some edges (like what you did)!
