Attention all texture lovers:
Brace yourselves!! Gorgeous textures and fantastic giveaway below!
For those who don’t know her, Kim Klassen is a very talented photographer, editor, trainer and texture creator. She has built an extensive “library” of textures and recipes, which she shares at her site, Kim Klassen Cafe. Her textures are gorgeous and each Friday she shares a free one via her newsletter (so if you don’t subscribe, run do that now).
Below are some of her pictures with textures she has created. Warning, I drool over textures…um..seriously.
Just recently Kim debuted her Recipe Book of 30 Photoshop recipes for adding textures to images. The Recipe Book includes before and after images, the step by steps to each layer in the process as well as a screen shot of the layers palette for each recipe. Some basic info on using the recipe book in Photoshop and Elements has been provided as well.
The Photoshop Recipe Book is an ebook with tons of info…She has put together the ‘stuff’ she has learned on creating beautiful images in Photoshop & Photoshop Elements.
She offers the Recipe Book in four different packages, each package getting a little “tastier” than the one before it.
Now, for the icing on the cake: Kim is generously giving away TWO of her Whole Kit & Caboodle packages!! I love it when giveaways have more than one winner – thank you, Kim!
Here is what the Whole Kit & Caboodle (a $59 value) includes:
- The Photoshop Recipe eBook
- Printable Recipe Cards
- Digital Files – the textures and low resolution images to practice on
