I really like this tutorial. I like taking pictures outdoors. I have also taken pictures of elements, like clouds, walls of various types, wood, stone, brick, etc. So to use for textured artwork.

Literally just had a project come up, where I was thinking something like this would work well, so I will leverage this process and see what I can create. Thanks!!

This is a great tutorial. I like indoor activities when the weather sucks. I go shopping or run errands when it is decent. I like using Illustrator, Photoshop and I use InDesign for my family calendars. I also love to watch videos on how to do different activities in each of the Apps in the Adobe Creative Cloud membership.

I would like to see something done with closeups of musical instruments and maybe some computer parts. Not together but two separate projects.
Love your tutorials!! Always giving me new ideas to change things up a bit.

Jammin' with Colin! I like it! I love outdoor activity when it's not freezing out (not much of a cold weather fan). I like indoor activities like creating art on my 'puters and working in my shop. Another great tutorial! And I do the same thing - photographing textures, clouds etc. Very handy for stuff like this, or re-texturing 3D props.

Thanks for another great tutorial. To answer your question, I like to photograph in the outdoors; landscapes, birds, sunsets etc. I do have a request for a tutorial. From time to time I have images of birds that have a decent composition but because of conditions are a bit blurry or noisy. For example you might need a high ISO or low shutter speed because of lighting. I have been exploring ways to improve that kind of image using brushes. For example, I have had some success using the mixer brush to reduce noise. Do you have any thoughts on using brushes to improve apparent sharpness? I think that would be a great tutorial.

Hi Collin, tried this but it doesn't work even I see convert to frame and used the same font.
Error message tells "NON Vector font cannot be converted into frame".
Where is the trap?
