What is the Light touch texture set?  Let me ask Lao Tsu:

Tao 46

There is no greater calamity

Than not knowing what is enough.

Have you ever applied a texture to your image(s)?

Have you no idea where to start or how?

Then this set is designed for you

How can one become a master without taking the first step?  But with this set you can be guided by a master on your first step…

You will find these textures/tones an easy and rewarding first step into altering your images for deeper creative effect. To start, paste, place or apply one of these images to your photograph using the soft light, overlay, or multiply layer blend mode in your favorite image editing application. The images are in two general categories: TEXTURES, have fine grains and sharper details to add another dimension of grit and abstract texture to your images. TONES, have only soft effects, but can be very useful for applying a natural lighting effect like a vignette, or adding a touch of color variation to enhance the perception of your image.

Beginner’s bonus! There are two photoshop tutorial documents included in this set.

The first is a layered photoshop file for you to learn the effects of combining border edges to give you a richer or antique/vintage feel to your images as if they were printed in the chemical darkroom. http://makelightreal.com/realistic-border-tutorial/ has more information. The second photoshop document with tutorial layers is a “Through The Viewfinder” (TTV) tutorial. A popular alternative digital process is to shoot through the focusing screen of a Twin Lens Reflex camera. You can duplicate this effect using a layer mask, border and your own normally captured image. The key is how to blur it, and it’s shown in the photoshop layers. Enjoy your new creativity!!
