Free High Quality PSD Graphics

[George Tyndall]

I came across this site while searching for some backgrounds. Most are not backgrounds, but they're unusual, very high quality, and have layers intact. Maybe some of us would have some applications for these. 77 pages and counting, but only a few on each page.

Dave, what is the procedure for downloading these?

Dave, what is the procedure for downloading these?

If you click on the "Download & Read" button it will take you to a second page. Once there scroll down to the link for PSD. For example, the one for the billboard is "White billboard PSD template" with an icon that looks like a white piece of paper with a green downpointing arrow on it. Others may not actually say PSD on the link, but rather are zip files containing the PSD. For example, the link for the Gold Namplate just says "Gold nameplate template."

Jayell, full Photoshop is just Photoshop Elements plus some other bits. Well, not quite, but if you are used to PSE then the step up to PS isn't too great.

Nice try, John. I'm 8 hours into the first (17-hour) Lynda.com tutorial. The first 6 hours never even touched on editing a photograph. Yeah, it's just a touch more complex.

Jayell,my sense is that the PS CS5 courses on lynda.com make the program appear more difficult than it is.

For the price of 3-4 months of lynda.com, you can join the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) for a year and get immediate access to thousands of video tutorials that are very wll presented. In addition, NAPP membership entitles you to discounts at a variety of vendors.

I'm sure that's true, George, although I do like getting into the nitty gritty .. then I can decide what features might be most useful for the way I work .. but I'll definately take a look at the NAPP. Thanks!
