Module 1: Powerful Photos

Welcome to Module 1 of The Art of Blending! I hope you have your camera ready this week as we first tackle the subject of what makes a great blending photo. Watch the videos, and then take some photos using the information you learn. You'll be able to use these photos for practice in the coming lessons as you learn more about blending.

Download Texture Overlays

This is the first (and largest) installment of texture overlays. We'll be using these throughout modules 1-5, but we'll also add additional textures and overlays as needed in later lessons. They're named alphabetically by type of texture.

Please note that older versions of Photoshop Elements do not have the ability to Alt/Option drag a layer mask to duplicate it to another layer. An instruction manual for a workaround is included in this Manual download.
