We’re very sorry we’ve been so quiet here of late, life has a way of getting in the way of photography and texturing. Flypaper is however very much alive and well and we are in fact working on a lovely new pack right now so watch this space!

Blossom Magic
We hope you’re all having fun conjuring up some magical images with our new Alchemy textures! I’ve discovered they work particularly well as backgrounds, they’re great to use in still lifes for example, they’re also good and adding interest to skies.

Basic Layer mask tutorial
Another wet day here so I decided to do a very basic tutorial on masking in photoshop. Using a mask is how I remove unwanted texture from parts of an image, it’s a great way to do this as it’s fully reversible and adjustable.
