Since you guys have really seemed to enjoy my Vintage U.S. Postcard Textures (it is one of my most purchased sets, so, thank you for that!) I am working on a larger, international postcard set that I will have in my online store later this week! I am really excited about this set, as I really enjoy the international postcards, so I’m looking forward to sharing them with all of you. In the meantime, here is a FREE download for one of the postcards (Japan):

It has been so long since I have posted here! School has been very busy, but I’m starting to find my groove (not to mention, I’m about to be done with the semester, and on break for the summer – yay!) so I wanted to drop in and give you guys a free texture.

As some of you know, I have been experimenting with plate photography and alternative processes. While this has been a fulfilling endeavor, my failures have outweighed my successes thus far. However, I’m a firm believer in turning mistakes into something positive, so I am uploading one of my plates as a texture. No image appeared on this plate, but I thought it would make a great texture, so here it is:

Here is a quick before/after edit from Photoshop. My layer setting was Soft Light at 70% opacity:

Please feel free to use this texture for any of your photo-editing or graphic design work. No attribution necessary, however, please do not redistribute this texture as your own work. If you would like to use it for commercial purposes in your editing, please contact me first (I usually say yes, I just like to know how my textures are being used!)

Here is where you can download the film strip (it’s free, just click “add to cart”)

This is a high resolution JPEG, and can be used in Photoshop, as well as any editing program that allows you to layer JPEG files.

As promised, here is my Light Leak set for Lightroom 3 & 4 – you all loved the Photoshop version so much, so it was time to do a similar set for all of the Lightroom users out there! Many of us love the quirky, vintage vibe of film cameras, so this will help you achieve a similar look with your digital images.

Included are 10 light leak + tone adjustment presets (both in color and b&w), and 5 presets that simply add a light leak, without altering the tones of your photo. For a limited time, this set is 30% off at $10. As always, when you purchase one of my sets, I am here to help you by answering any questions you may have, so please feel free to contact me at contact@annagayphotography.com

Click “Add To Cart” to purchase the set, and receive your instant digital download, good for 2 downloads, so you can have an extra set for your back up.

Lightroom 3 ~ $15

Lightroom 4 ~ $15

Here are some before and after examples:

This Friday, I am going to be releasing a new set of presets for Lightroom 3 JPEG that will be similar to my Light Leak set for Photoshop. My Light Leaks have been my most popular set, by far, so I thought it would be fun to create a similar set for Lightroom users. In the meantime, I am offering a free download of one of the presets (the set will have 15 total). Here is a before/after so you can get a feel for how the preset works:

Also, this preset can be applied to a RAW file, but you will need to up your Exposure, Brightness/Contrast  to get the same look.

You can get the free, instant download by clicking “Add To Cart” below. Enjoy!

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!

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

The textures are for your own personal use, and may not be altered and redistributed in any way. Feel free to use them in your photo editing and design work, but please do not use them for any large-scale commercial purposes without my prior consent.
