@random person: Go to the File Menu and select Open. A window will appear and you will need to navigate to find where you have saved your texture. To open a texture, select the texture you want to open and click Open.

how do you get the texture to be the same size as the image?

when i drag it onto the page it's like tiny! xx

I have changed the size of texture to make it fits in the image.
In this case, you can go to Deviantart.com to find another free texture to use instead.

@jess: you open the picture and texture image, then drag the texture into the picture, make sure texture's layer over picture's layer and then change blend mode of texture layer to Multiply
