Video Tutorial – {using textures} plus more free textures
June 17th, 2008A few weeks ago I had a guest photographer on my blog sharing some textures. I promised to let you know how to apply them and get the most from them. Here is a video showing you how to use textures on your photos. Know that every photo will not look good with a texture applied. So like everything in post processing, use them sparingly and appropriately.
Also, before I show the video, I need to let you know something GREAT! Another amazing photographer, Angelo (ground*floor) on flickr has generously let me use his textures in my tutorial. And even better has given me permission for MCP Blog readers to go and download them.
Click on each collection below to go to his site and download the textures. They are incredible. Click here or on the tutorial box to view the video. It may take a minute to load so be patient.

Thanks once again for another great tutorial! Do you know if you have to download each texture separately? I haven’t used textures. I am so excited!
10:09 pmJune 18th, 2008
You all are welcome. Yes – you need to download each one. So pick just the ones you like most and know you will use. Or bookmark it and go back as you need things for specific photos.

The textures are fabulous, and what a great resource! I am having a problem though, the largest size is still quite small and only covers a fraction of my image. I am wondering how other people are handling these textures for their images. I’d like to hear what others are doing with it – thanks!
7:50 amJune 20th, 2008
There are different sizes you can load – click on original. Wait for it to load. Right click and save. That way you can see you are getting the highest resolution offered for each.
Hope that helps.
