Over the past two years, I've worked on creating my own textures. Utilizing textures is huge part of my work flow -- they help me to create depth, color variation and overall visual interest. I'm a big believer in keeping a lot of different textures on hand as the right texture can really take a photo to the next level.
Technical Notes:
•
Texture files work with all versions of Elements, Photoshop, and GIMP (a free
editing program, click here to check it out).
This product is not compatible with Lightroom.
•
The PDF tutorial included with the textures only specifically addresses Photoshop
users.
•
For tutorials demonstrating Elements, GIMP and Photoshop, please see my Video
Tutorials section.
• Payment is required via Paypal or a credit card. Once your payment clears, you will receive an email with a link where you can download your textures. Due to the nature of this digital product, all sales are final.
• The files come compressed in .zip format and must be unzipped to work. There are many free unzip programs for both Mac & Windows that will allow you to expand the files once they've been downloaded.
By
purchasing or acquiring this product (contest winner, product tester, etc), you

Legal Information:
Here
are the simple rules for using my overlays and actions:
1)
These textures / actions are licensed to one user only for their personal
and/or professional use. I work hard to make them pretty inexpensive to
discourage "sharing". Each download comes with a unique watermark.
Please be respectful and do not share with others. Should your unique watermark
appear on a piracy site, I reserve the right to seek financial damages for any
/ all illegal downloads.
2)
These textures may not be re-sold, re-purposed, re-used, or redistributed in
any way whatsoever without expressed written permission of Jessica Drossin. You
may not use my textures to make "new" textures, actions, or overlays,
should you do this, I will seek damages. It also a violation of my copyright
and this license to use my textures, overlays, actions, etc., in anyway to
re-create items such as textures, frames, vignettes, or brushes for
redistribution or resale. Any repurposing or redistribution is illegal and is
subject to prosecution.
3)
You must use these textures integrated with your own artwork and photography --
ie. do not post them as they currently appear to Flickr, etc., unintegrated
with your art as this would make them easy to steal. You may use these textures
in client work, but may not post or redistribute them "as is" on your
blog, in your mentoring class, etc.
