2. Inner Glow Layer Style
Adding an Inner Glow layer style with the source set to center and the size
to 0 will let you use the noise slider to add texture to any layer. It’s a good
solution, provided you’re not already using the Glow layer style for
something else. The noise is added above the Color, Gradient and Pattern
layer styles, which is great.
Unfortunately, the noise can only lighten or darken the underlying
elements. The previous bitmap layer method can add highlights and shade
at once while maintaining the average luminosity, and it looks far better in
my opinion.
