Holga Preset

1 May

After shooting with my Holga this week, I really wanted to try my hand at creating a Holga preset for Lightroom, so here you have it! This is a free, instant download, and the preset works best in Lightroom 3, on JPEG images.

My only disclaimer is that this preset has a lot of distortion and grain to it, as it is intended to mimic a Holga film camera, so it is a lot different than my previous presets and actions. Also, this preset works best on photos with a medium/high resolution. If the resolution of your photo is low, you will see more grain than is intended, but you may find that you like the added grain. Enjoy!

Vintage Ground Glass Textures

17 Feb

 

I am really excited about this set of textures! They were so much fun to make, and something I wish I had thought of sooner (thanks, Evan, for planting the idea in my mind)! The textures were created by photographing the ground glass on some of our favorite vintage cameras. From the Kodak Duaflex TLR, to our 8X10 view camera, the textures have a variety of color and light qualities. One of my favorite aspects of the ground glass is how bright it appears in the center of the frame, which comes through in these textures, making them really great for brightening your photos. A few of them also work perfectly for faux TtV textures, so if you enjoy making your photos look aged or like TtV, you will definitely enjoy the textures from the Dualfex.

The set includes 12 high resolution textures: $10

Free Texture Download

15 Feb

I am really excited about this upcoming set of textures! Evan and I have an inordinate amount of antique cameras with beautiful ground glass, so we figured, why not use the ground glass as textures. While I am finishing them up, I wanted to post a freebie for all of you to try. Here is a photo edited with the texture taken from the viewfinder of a Duaflex TLR:

This is a high resolution texture, and can be downloaded instantly for free here:

Vintage Postcard Textures

7 Nov

While on a trip to Savannah, GA, I found a shoebox full of vintage postcards, and found that they make beautiful textures. Not only do these add a vintage element to your photos, but they’re also great for design on your blog or website. Not to mention, they’re fun to read! Several of them feature handwriting and stamps, while others are blank.

All files are high resolution JPEG files at 300ppi.

Please do not use these for large ad campaigns. They may be used on your photos, blog, scrapbooks, and for small commercial ventures. They are not to be reproduced or redistributed under any circumstances.

When you purchase the textures, you will be asked to sign-in through Paypal, at which point you will receive a link for an instant download. All files are .ZIP files which you will have to “unzip” but if you do not have a program that does this, you can download a free trial of Winzip for PC and Mac HERE!

Light Leak Actions and Textures

7 Nov

The light leak textures in this set were taken from real light leaks on 120mm and 35mm film, so they are authentic, as opposed to simulated through brushes.

The set includes 4 light leak textures and 4 tone adjustment actions. You can mix and match the actions and textures, but the textures themselves are saved as Photoshop documents, so they are only compatible with Photoshop.

A variety of blending modes can be used when overlaying the textures onto your photo, but I have found that the modes that work best tend to be Soft Light, Overlay and Vivid light.

All of the layers in the tone actions will remain open so that you have the ability to go back and tweak each layer to suit your personal preferences. Also, you will never be left on your own if you have questions or you are new to Photoshop. I am always available for help!

When you purchase the actions, you will be asked to sign-in through Paypal, at which point you will receive a link for an instant download. All files are .ZIP files which you will have to “unzip” but if you do not have a program that does this, you can download a free trial of Winzip for PC and Mac HERE!
