The Photoshop Blog offers Photoshop news and Photoshop tips. http://www.photoshopsupport.com/photoshop-blog/ From the alarmingly generous Bittbox: Noir Grunge. I wanted to try out some more experimental grunge textures this week and this is what I came up with, a nice set of dark and grungy textures. Each textures is actually 4-5 different textures combined in different layers in Photoshop to get the end result. I tried to give each texture it’s own “feeling”, if that makes any sense. Hopefully you guys get some good use out of them, enjoy!

It can be used in any program that will support *.PNG files. (Photoshop, GIMP, PSP, and many more) These images are extremely high resolution, with the average being about 2300×2000 pixels @ 300 dpi. Included are various types and colors of leaves, all picked up from the freshly fallen multicolored autumn foliage. You’ll find some red, orange, brown, and even some purple-ish leaves within, all on transparent backgrounds. To use them, it’s as easy as opening up the file and copy/pasting into your own design...
