E-mail Print PDF

Adding texture and drama to your images using textures and layers

You've seen them in explore, online and in magazines but just how are they created? One of the wonderful thing about Adobe Photoshop (and clones) is that you can add layers of textures over the image you are editing and adjust the opacity and blend mode to create wonderful textures, mood and story to your image.

  1. First convert the images that you wish to use as texture layers to Adobe Photoshop Files (.psd) either by using ‘File: Save As” and saving to your Program Files>Adobe>Adobe Photoshop CS3>Presets>Textures
  2. Next open the image you wish to add texture layers to.

Photographer Resources: Wedding photography

E-mail Print PDF

Will you photograph my wedding?

That's the question you may have been asked recently. I know I have over the years. Yes, I can shoot a wedding. I have a camera and I can most definitely use it. The real question is whether you, the amateur or semi-pro photographer, are ready to step up into the big shoes of the wedding photographer. There is a lot of pressure, stress and responsibility when it comes to weddings. I've heard horror stories from both sides. From photographers that were not paid because they didn't meet the client's needs to the bride and groom who were distraught over the finished product which didn't include key photos due to camera malfunction or poor white balance. Then there is the time and expense, as well as expectation and priceless memories. Are you ready?
