Paper Texturama for free

Bashcorpo has kindly placed a whole load of paper textures on to devianart to download hires for free.

Apparently he found them at a demolished building site, nice find.

Its often hard to get the texture of paper on to appear from a scan so its best to photograph it.

But if you are stuck for time try these seriously distressed images for size.

There are a heap of other links to textures (other than paper) available at sharebrain, much of the content on this site is aimed at web designers but often the images are available in high resolution and good enough to print.

Dirty pixels!

Photoshop-mania!

This is just a small list of Photoshop sites I have bookmarked over the last 6 months or so.
Some are interesting, some just a great resource, others perhaps a bit dubious – use as a resource of inspiration for when you're a bit stuck!

1 Nigel Dennis - good portfolio site
2 Good brush resource
3 Scary Russian site with some ref. to good commercial photoshop
4 Eric Sin (real name?) great portfolio site
5 Texture King – say no more!
6 Free Photoshop brushes (be careful with this one!)
7 Grunge textures, brushes and tutorials

When retouching goes wrong...

Here's a great link to some photoshop disasters. I think some people might need to go back to school to brush up on their photoshop skills, perhaps also a few a classes on perspective, the human form etc might help.
