One thing I have always enjoyed was seeing what people do with the resources that I put out there for them to use.  Be it textures, actions, frames, brushes, etc., it is inspiring to see how they get used.  To give everyone a more central place to share their creations, I created a group on Flickr: Dubtastic’s Textures & Frames. If have used any of my resources, and have not already done so, go drop them into the group pool.  I would love to see what you have come up with.  Also, to celebrate the group, I am releasing 5 new hi-res grunge textures for free. Download them after the jump. Read more »

I found myself in need of a hi-res camera shutter vector graphic.  With a tight deadline, I search my typical haunts on the web and could not find a free vector file for this.  With an even tighter budget, I was not in the position to go purchase one.  So I created it and figured why not share?

I was out playing with the camera today, trying to snag some shots of the leaves.  Not that it would be difficult, considering my yard is being overtaken by them.  After taking a few quick shots, I brought them into Photoshop.  I wanted to enhance the image just a notch with additional sharpness, and since it was something that I could use again elsewhere, I thought others might as well.

There are many ways to soften skin in Adobe Photoshop.
