Since I have this newly-discovered fascination with textures added in photoshop, I thought I would make this Sunday’s Inspiration post a round up of textured images that I love, found on flickr. Click through these pictures to see the rest of these photostreams. There is a lot more fascinating texture work to be found on flickr!

Trying my hand at applying textures to photographs – and I love how this one turned out!

Ok, not really a polaroid.  It’s a Faux-laroid. Heh. I have plans for a new blog header one of these days, and I wanted to figure out how to make my images look like polaroids.  So I found quite a few tutorials, but none were quite what I was looking for. So I took some ideas from the tutorials, looked at real scanned-in polaroids on flickr, and then made mine up as I went along.

What do you think?

I have been practicing some portrait retouching techniques in Photoshop. I am not an expert photoshop user at all, but I am learning. One of my favorite resources for learning photoshop techniques is from Scott Kelby’s book, The Photoshop CS2 Book for Digital Photographers.  Scott Kelby is hilarious, and the book is really easy to follow, with step-by-step instructions about all the basic (and some not-so-basic) techniques used to enhance digital photos.

Here is my original image:

And here is my processed image:

I adjusted the white balance a bit, cloned out some of the skin imperfections, and softened it a bit.

What do you think? I think I might have softened it a little too much … might be a tad too blurry now. I will have to think about it some more.
