Download: Julie’s Textures (Metal, Wood, Stone, Abstract)
Our good friend Julie McLeod has graciously shared five of her homemade collections of textures with us: Metal Textures 1; Wood Textures 1; Stone Textures 1 and 2; and Abstract Textures 1.
Each collection includes five high-resolution textures–shown in the sample pages below–saved in JPG format. You are free to use the textures in any and all of your creations without restriction; you may not redistribute them or post them elsewhere without permission, however.
Under each sample page, you’ll find a download link for the collection–which has been compressed into a ZIP file–the file name and its size (in megabytes). Save the ZIP file on your computer, and double-click it (or use a utility like WinZip) to decompress it into a folder containing the sample page and the five textures. If you’re having trouble finding the file, check your Downloads folder, or search for the file by its name

It is always good to see people who share, or give back to others. Julie must have a huge Texture collection by now, and I Thank her. I have used textures a lot, since this is time for Digital Holiday card’s. Textures are a great way to in creating a background to begin your Digital card. It’s my way of giving back to a lot of great folks out there in the Wonderful Season. – Happy Holidays to All, Peace, and Good Will to All…

Thanks for sharing. Since learning how to add texture to my images, I’ve been able to transform mundane shots to creative ones. I’m looking forward to working with your textures, too.
