...it wasn't so late...

Apparently Tim's confused by my vampire fic. It's going to need more work this week. *SIGH*
We spent like 2 hours on the phone discussing it...
Did make some background textury things, and some funky screens though.






__Edit__ added a third texture set...really neat thing I discovered while playing around in PSP.

I must be dumb, I'm dumb when it comes to computers, but I don't understand what you mean when you say "Just open the texture in PSP, copy it as a new layer and change your blend mode on the texture layer". I've tried to see what you meant but I couldn't. :( Help would be welcome! Thanks!

First open your image program. Prep your base image however you're going to prep it.

Then, there are several ways to open the texture in your program. Importing lots of textures into the program memory slows down my computer, so what I do is either:

Go to file>open, find the texture I want and open it.

or

Open a separate window with my texture folder (easier because it allows me to browse the textures if I don't know what I'm looking for) when I find what I want, simply click with the mouse and drag the texture from the folder into the image program window.

Now, you should have two documents open in your image program window. 1 is your base image. The second is your texture. Click on the texture once. Go to edit>copy. Then click on your base image to make sure you are working on that document. Now, go to edit>paste>paste as a new layer. The texture will now be covering your base image. In PSP you have something called a "layer palette". It is a small rectangular shaped menu normally off to one side of your screen. It gives you a list of the the working layers in your document. The texture layer will now be the top layer in the list. You should see the layer name, probably something like "Raster 2", then the word normal, and a small triangle beside it. If you click your mouse on the triangle, it will give you a drop down menu with a list of settings. Just go down the list and see what they do; they have different effects depending on the type of texture or the image you're using. That texture tutorial link I sent you explains pretty well the different sorts of effects you can do with them.
