Photoshop Textures – Kaleidoscope Giveaway Time

by Erin on June 11, 2010 · 90 comments

Textures can create beautiful effects in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.  The best textures make your images absolutely stunning.  Add incredible video tutorials to these textures, and you’ve become a texture master.

Patti Brown’s Kaleidoscope textures are the cream of the texture crop and her video tutorials, as I’ve mentioned before, are absolutely amazing.  Even if you don’t purchase her textures, you should check out her videos.  Patti’s blog is a great source of inspiration and learning as well.

Patti has just released a fabulous new collection called Supernatural. I was lucky enough to be a tester for Patti.  I’m not sure that she’ll ever ask me again, since I couldn’t think of one suggestion for improving this collection.  I tried, really I did!

My favorite thing about many of Patti’s Kaleidoscope textures is that they allow you to manipulate the light in an image long after you’ve put your camera down.  Looking at the examples above (which were created by Patti), each looks as if it were taken at a different time of day.

I love this next set of examples too.  Any of them could be displayed as a fine art image.

Are you feeling texture envy yet? Guess what?  5 of you Texas Chicks readers will win the Supernatural Collection.  And those of you who don’t will have a special 25% coupon code to use after the contest.

Supernatural contains over 70 textures, including a selection of black and whites. Click on any of the thumbnail images below to scroll through all of them.

Contest Rules

To enter the contest, leave a comment below saying which texture set at Patti Brown’s shop is your favorite.  Leave another comment each time you twitter, facebook or announce this contest in a forum.  Or Digg, Stumble or any other social media you like.  Entries will be accepted through noon, CST on Tuesday, June 15, 2010.

And don’t forget to download MCP’s free Texture Applicator to help you use these fabulous textures!

Have a great weekend!
