Hi! I'm Rita and the blogger behind CoffeeShop and a stay-at-home, home-schooling Mom to two naughty but adorable little boys (Duke is 8 and Imp is 5), wife to my high school sweetheart, and passionate about all things photography.
CoffeeShop Barn Textures for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements!
>> Tuesday, December 9, 2008
It has been cold here (finally) so the boys and I are spending a lot of time exploring the back fields, barns and the chicken coop. All of the outbuildings are really overgrown right now (cows and chickens have moved out and were replaced by hay, so we have a huge cleanup project planned this winter so we can get chickens again), so we only climb around there when the snakes are frozen. In Texas we have a cornucopia of snake diversity, 68 species, 4 of which are venomous (coral snakes, copperheads, cottonmouths (also known as water moccasins), and rattlesnakes). Interesting enough we have seen 3 of the 4 in our backyard at various times. I have yet to see a rattlesnake, but we have "ran" into a few of them northwest of us on our camping adventures. My husband hates snakes (he still blames them for getting us booted out of Eden) but I am fascinated yet respectful of them.
So last week I decided to take some photos of the interesting textures we came across in our adventures. I think some of them are quite nice, so I put them all together for you to download. The zipped file is huge (100 MB), but there are some really interesting barnyard and natural textures in there. The ones below are 2 samples. They are just normal .jpgs, so after unzipping the file, just open them like a normal image in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. Here is a texture tutorial if you need some ideas on how to use these textures.

Great textures! Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong? I keep getting the warning that its not compatible with PSE 7 and there's not enough RAM. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Love the textures!
Just wanted to tell you I am working through using the new Powder Room II filter. Must say it does wonders for my face! LOL Seriously, my oldest and best girlfriend and I turned 70 in the last week and I managed to get a few great photos of us to work with. I went a little on the overboard side and we look a whole lot younger than 70 that is for sure.
I will keep working at it though and hopefully will come up with a photo that is pleasing but not too touched up looking. Practice practice practice!
Thanks so much
Merci
