[ TUTORIAL NO. 3: HOW TO ADD SIMPLE PAPER TEXTURES IN YOUR COVER ]
So okay, most of you probably see lots of covers with paper textures in them. As if the cover was printed on crumpled paper, however it looks quite beautiful. Its super easy to do, and it adds impact on your edited cover!
01 - Open your desired cover and your paper texture. You can just search and find the texture in google or in DeviantART. I suggest you add this feature when you're done editing the cover, however if you chose to place it somewhere else, go on with your creativity!

04 - Click the check once you've made the ideal size. Now go to layers and change the layer style of the paper texture. Go and pick the style you want! But I'd suggest, so that the paper texture would have impact, either use: Overlay, Color Burn, or Hard Light. Still, it depends on the scheme and color of your cover. For me, I chose Color Burn.
