Very new to Pixelmator, just trying the trial version, after many years using Adobe products. Is it possible to apply third party or my own made textures to images. I often apply hi res textures to flower images. Im probably over thinking how to do this. Thank you.

Hey Floyd, would you be able to share an example of the result you're looking to achieve? That will help me get a better idea about what kind of steps to share with you.

Andrius thank you for your reply.
For the image below the usual procedure was import the image into Photoshop, then click on place embedded which allowed me to choose a texture from a folder in Pictures Folder. Once the textured was placed, I would reduce the opacity of the texture to 60, which allowed the flower image to be seen, then using the eraser tool and a soft brush set at 20, I could erase the texture where it wasn't needed in small amount.

Well, going by your workflow there, I'd say you could do the following:
1. Add the texture layer as a new layer.
2. Change its blend mode to Overlay or similar.
3. Add a mask to the layer and mask out the unneeded areas using the Erase/Paint tool.
If you could also share a sample source image along with a texture, I could try to make sure those steps do work.
