Cracked Texture effect

A Texture in Photoshop can give a different dimension to any image if you are looking for special effects. You can use any image and any Texture. You will find free high resolution textures on http://www.deviantart.com/
Textures look good when the image is in Black and White. A color image will do just as well. All you need to do is desaturate it.

This is the kind of effect you can create with Textures.
