Testimonials from tutorial downloaders (thanks y’all!):

David duChemin - “But remember there is room for technique that broadens the apparent dynamic range of an image and it doesn’t have to hit people over the head to be effective. Don’t throw out the guitar just because some people play it more loudly than you’d like. And for those that do love it, Trey’s stuff is solid teaching.”

Jeff Clow: “This collection of textures is truly world class – and by that I mean not simply how brilliant they are, but the fact that they’ve been compiled from fascinating places around the world. The unique textures work superbly well as backgrounds and overlays, and I highly recommend them to any photographer who wants to improve and enhance their images. This texture package is ‘must have’ tool for any serious photographer.”

Maurice Guerrieri “Trey, your textures are the best! It paid it self off in less than 24 hours. Hats off to you. If you have arrived at this page, it means that your interested in bringing your photography to the next level, and no doubt Treys textures will help you achieve that.” – Maurice from Australia

Scott Dungan: ” What a resource! Stuck in Customs World of Textures has provided me with textures that are difficult or impossible to produce in Photoshop. These textures allow me to produce images with the hand coated look of early photographic processes. Thank you for your World of Textures Stuck in Customs.”

Scotty Graham: “I just downloaded the premium package, and am very impressed with both the quality of the textures and the video tutorial. Trey’s video tutorial is worthwhile to the professional as well as the Photoshop beginner. As a professional photographer, I enjoyed watching Trey’s workflow and creative process unfold right before my eyes….(would be nice to see the same kind of thing with his HDR images). His textures are bar-none some of the best I have seen and/or used. They rival anything else you may see for sale on line, and for 100 textures, his price is very fair. If you are looking to move your photography style up one notch, don’t hesitate to purchase this package….you will not regret it.”

Chris Nowakowski: “All I have to say is WOW! These textures are amazing! They blow everything and anything that I have seen out the water! The video tutorial is so easy to use, even the pro that I am, I still learned a few new tricks! I still remember when I first heard about you and I used your tutorial on HDR to further develop my skills. That tutorial helped me make the art I do today. Now, with this tutorial not only am I not worried about getting my ROI out of it, but I also know that it will inspire me as an artist to further per sue my photography and take it to new heights. It’s hard to sum it all up. All I know is that this rocks as much as you do.”

Thelonius Gonzo: “Just viewed the tutorial. I know dollars are worth something (less and less everyday) but honestly, if you are interested at all in texture effects, and like me, are not already a Photoshop expert, then this tutorial is well worth the asking price. I swear I may need a few weeks to really ingest all of it. The only downside of this is that I feel like I’m cheating.”

About the tutorial?

My HDR Tutorial is free as the birds and I was glad it helped tens of thousands of people. This one I simply have to charge for because it is too valuable. It has taken a small eternity to collect these amazing textures from all over the world. I’ve looked around, and there is nothing else this one-of-a-kind offering available.

I first offered the tutorial in 2008. Since then, I have created a brand new tutorial to replace the old one. The video now is much higher quality and it includes all the new tricks and tips I’ve picked up over the years.

The video is one hour long and it is full of tons of examples. It’s definitely a no-BS video. Beginners, amateurs, and pros will all benefit from these techniques. Because the video can be downloaded (or played off a DVD in your computer), you can play it as many times as you like. If I go to fast in a section, you can just go back and watch frame by frame what I do.

These textures will help you do amazing things with your photos. I can’t promise 100% success, but if you are already a decent photographer (and you know it when you are), then these can take your final result to the next level. Most photographers reach a level of comfort before they are ready to push through to the a new level of excellence and experimentation. These techniques that I have perfected will bring a unique level of polish to your art.

Who am I?

Regular visitors to the site know me and now find all of this personal stuff mundane. I’m really quite humble and enjoy my ego on my own time, but it’s hard to be humble when writing an “Who Am I” section. But you want to know some credentials since you are about to buy something? I understand. Very quickly, here is a random list of things that will either be impressive or strange to you:

  • had a photo hang in the Smithsonian
  • represented by Getty
  • been on the BBC, ABC, FOX, and NBC television talking about innovations in photography
  • my mom thinks I am a good photographer

Are you a Wedding or Child Photographer?

These textures and the tutorial will really give you a nice edge to separate you from the competition. I’ve received countless emails of thanks from people all over the world. These textures have helped to create a special look that keeps them unique, pleases the clients, and have paid for themselves many times over. Even better, when you watch the video, you will see how these 150 textures can be mixed and changed around in a way so that every photo will be totally unique.

What You Need

You will need a copy of Photoshop and that is about it! Even if you are horrible terrible awfulest worstest at Photoshop, then you will be able to follow my tutorial. The tutorial is in a video file you can play on your computer, so even if I go too fast, you can just go frame by frame and replay as many times as you like if I go too fast in one area or the next. Both the video and the textures work fine in PC and Mac.

What you Get

I have three packages, and they all come with the same video tutorial. I know everyone has different budget levels so I wanted to make the low-end affordable and a great value. The higher end packages are for the real over-achievers that want the best.

All the textures are huge, unique, and wonderful. They are all ultra-high quality images that are a staggering 6100 x 4100 pixels. These specially selected textures come from amazing and adventurous places all around the world and it has taken me an eternity to get them all together. You will find unexpected and wondrous fine art textures from Venice, Italy; ancient and well-worn marbles from the Taj Mahal in India; unearthly steamed moss from the geothermal areas of Iceland; distressed surfaces from cesium irradiated Chernobyl, Ukraine, and delicate romantic textures from Paris, France, just to name a few. Every texture will take your photo on an adventurous journey as you use the context to create your own story and vision of the image.

These textures represent the most refined and flexible options for the techniques I describe. In addition, I’ve spent over 4,500 hours in Photoshop (making mistakes so you don’t have to, as I like to say!), so I’ve come up with some pretty nifty techniques no matter your level of familiarity with Photoshop.
