This is an interesting tutorial on how to create canvas texture imitation from the photograph.
Open the photograph of your choice and duplicate the layer with Ctrl+J at first. After that desaturate the copied layer with Image > Adjustments > Desaturate and set up opacity to 70%.
Merge two of these layers into one and apply Filter > Noise > Add Noise.
This will be the result.
Then apply Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur with next presets:
The image will look like this:
Stylize the photograph a little bit with Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen by using following presets:
Make a new layer and fill it with black colour. Then Filter > Noise > Add Noise to add the noise a little bit on this layer.
Then mess with the layer mode & opacity/fill. Try Screen with opacity of 50%.
Duplicate the noise layer with Ctrl+J and hide the copy (click on the eye, which indicates layer visibility). Go to the lower layer and apply Filter > Blur > Motion Blur with next parameters:
Your effect should be the next:
Apply Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen to this layer twice.
Then go back to the hidden copy of layer and make it visible. Apply Filter > Blur > Motion Blur with following parameters:
See the difference now?
Apply Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen twice for this layer.
Then adjust the brightness and contrast a little bit with Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast. Use next parameters:
Your picture will look like this:
Increase the sharpness of the photograph with Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen:
