Just an example of what several of Melissa’s beautiful textures can produce. If your Photoshopper likes textures, definitely check these out. She has some more expensive bundles with tutorials and actions included. This is something that you cannot get right now, but usually the first Friday of each month, she offers two of her beautifully painted textures for sale for $5 – only time they will be available. She does have a couple texture sets at very reasonable prices – her Winter Solstice Mini Collection of 10 textures for $20 and her Monet Collection of 20 textures for $35. If you like the very true vivid painted texture look, check out her textures. Her textures are so gorgeous and I use them on many of my images. Melissa Gallo’s Painted Textures ($5 to $35) The image is of an old residential building in the Belarusian countryside outside Minsk – I have always wondered what stories it could tell.ĥ. The clouds were added using my brushes 1 and 2 in brush set shown above.

This image used three plug-ins: Topaz DeNoise, Nik Color Efex Pro using the Fly For Girls preset which stacked Cross Processing, Darken/Lighten Center, Reflector Efex, and Graduated Neutral Density filters, and Nik Viveza. And the good thing is that they are very inexpensive! This would be a great stocking stuffer! Also gives a great starting point for stacking several filters to get an interesting effect. Recently they offered 84 presets for Nik’s Color Efex Pro plug-in and they have turned out to be really nice. We all know that Flypaper Textures are great.

Definite must have!Ībove is an example of how my free Cloud Brushes look in the Argus Preset Viewer from my Deviant Art site when highlighted in the Windows Explorer. This is such a time-saver and at such a reasonable price. It adds thumbnails down the right side of your Windows Explorer where you can view a complete set of Photoshop brushes, swatches, styles, shapes, gradients, or patterns.
Last year I recommended the Preset Viewer Breeze by Tumasoft (last years #3 item) and it has been a great little program, but the Argus Preset Viewer appears to me to be just as good, faster and cheaper. This image of the Colonial Park Cemetery (the link is to a website on the ghosts said to haunt the cemetery in Savannah, Georgia where over 10,000 people are said to buried) used both David duChemin’s Toxic Cool Heavy + MTC preset which added the soft fall tones, and Dave Delnea’s Backlight Horizontal Left preset that filled the back corner with light for a more natural tree shadow and lighter background. These sell for $10 or you can get a bundle with David duChemin’s Lightroom presets (see last year’s #10 item) and get them for $16. It can really helps even out a dark corner in an image and the presets can be easily edited in Lightroom if the effect is too strong.
This is a set of 46 presets that I use all the time – I love the way he has added different light effects that sit on top of your other presets in many cases. Dave Delnea’s Lightroom Develop Presets ($10) Totally love this plug-in as seen by the various references to it throughout many of my recent blog postings.Ģ. But when put into Topaz ReStyle and the Warm Steel Wash preset applied, this was the result which looks more wintry to me. The snowman image was originally in whites, greens and browns, which looked okay.

At least try out the trial to see if you like it – just a fabulous plug-in that no one else has. The snowman greeting above used this Photoshop plug-in which has turned out to be my favorite Topaz plug-in (see my Tidbits Blog sidebar for website link) – since I love all their plug-ins, that is quite a statement! I almost always try it on every image opened in Photoshop, usually as a last step, just to see if a slightly better color palette can be achieved.
