Now double click on the layer thumbnail. This will present you the Layer Style box. First change the blend mode to "Screen" On the same box you will find "Blend If" section. This is where all is going to happen. We have two Blend sliders there we can adjust. We need to adjust the "This Layer" slider. Hold the "Alt" key, click on the white color handle and drag it away from the edge. This will blend the texture into the background nicely.
