Some of you are probably aware that I sing in a Barbershop chorus - it's been a hobby/passion of mine for about 15 years. We are a small and fairly new group, just nearing our fifth year of competing. We take this very seriously, performing as often as we can, and competing twice a year.
We've launched an unusual fund-raising effort where each member was "challenged" to come up with a way of raising money by taking advantage of their individual talents. So, here's my idea...
Recently I took a whole series of photos of textures to use as overlays in Photoshop to create specials effects. There's images of cracked concrete, weathered metal, paint-spattered wood and many more - 125 photos to be exact.
I've put these images on a CD along with a pdf contact sheet that shows all the textures and a short tutorial on some of the ways you can use them.
You can use these textures in Photoshop Elements - I've included a movie for both Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop Elements 6.
This CD can be yours for the incredibly low price of $20 (plus $1.25 shipping). Just go to the link below, pay by Paypal and you'll receive a disc in the mail.
Here's the only "catches" with this deal: you have to promise that you will only use these images for your own use, and not sell or distribute them in any way. Also, since I'm asking so little for them (some texture collections sell for $200), there's no "tech support" other than the tutorial on the disc. Oh, and you'll find that some of the images are not in the sharpest focus, but that was somewhat deliberate since the images were intended to be used as overlays the focus doesn't really matter that much.
For more information about my chorus, The Academy, look here (http://www.theacademychorus.com)

Thanks!!
