Alright, so I am fairly new to Photoshop Elements 4.0 (and making icons) and I just downloaded some textures to use for icons. How do I save them to photoshop so I can use them?
And, I have no idea how to use them, for whenever I do it doesn't work and my picture gets buried beneath the texture!
Help would be much appreciated!

once you put the texture on it you need to change the layer from NORMAL to softlight or multiply or screen, etc.

Textures don't need to be installed into Photoshop. Just keep the files (JPEGs or PNGs, presumbably) handy and when you need one, just open it and copy/paste to a new layer in the image you're working on. Then adjust the blend mode to suit.
