Friday Freebie No.2

grunge-border-2I know a lot of you enjoyed using the Friday freebie grungy frame I uploaded a few weeks back, so I’m going to give away another one.

This time the grungy border has a more industrial feel with peeling paint and screw heads. The centre of the image has a smoother painted look which makes it perfect for for blending with other photos.

If you like your photos to have grungy feel you’ll love this grunge photo frame. This is a very high resolution file of 4666px by 3500px in size, which makes it perfect for print use or down sampling for use with your web based images.

In the photo above I added a colour image as a new layer above the grunge border. Combining the two images is as simple as changing the layer blending mode to Multiply. You might need to use the dodge and burn tools and a levels adjustment layer at the top of the layer stack might be a good idea.

I’d also suggest using images which have lots of sky, large areas of simple colour/tone or lots of nice blurred parts in the photo. Basically a photo with lots of fine detail tends not to blend so well with a textured template like this.

If you create a photo using the Friday Freebie then let me (and everyone else) know by leaving the link in the comments below.

    1. Lenny, If it works as it did for me a few minutes ago, when you go to the link, just to the upper right of the image of the frame, there is an icon of an arrow pointing down with a horizontal line under it. It’s right next to the trashcan icon. Click on that arrow pointing down and you should be able to download the file.

  5. Perhaps off topic, but how long since your last video (you coulda made one for this… puts it on topic). I’m missing them. Do I need to buy another t-shirt to so inspire?

      1. Thanks for the order Dave. New photography/Photoshop videos really are coming, I promise. They may be a few more weeks away but the wait will be worth it 🙂

  6. Hi! Re: Lenny! If you are using Chrome, the link did not work for me, either. The link was just moot. I was able to get it to work, though, with another browser. I have IE-Tab for Chrome, but, FF may work, too. I see this alot. That’s why I have the IE extension. FF won’t even open on my pc without freezing up.
    As for the frame, THANK YOU!! I love the grunginess of it!
