… 50% on my individual high-resolution Texture Packs
… 60% on the bundle of all three packs

This week, I’ve got a couple of cool deals up my digital sleeve for you but I also want you to learn a technique or two. That’s why every deal I post will also come with a free video for you to watch!

Today’s deal is that you can get each of my three high resolution texture packs at 50 percent off and the three pack bundle even at 60 percent off!

This is an ideal opportunity to stock up on some high resolution textures I photographed with the Fujifilm GFX 50S or the GFX 100 all around the globe. With camera resolutions increasing rapidly, your existing texture library might be getting a bit too low-res, don’t you think? Another great thing about these super high-res textures is that you can decide on using just a crop instead of the entire texture.

Above are some samples from the three packs. Bonus-tip: you can layer them on top of each other with different blending modes in Photoshop to come up with entirely new combinations!

You don’t need a discount code! The prices already reflect the discount… but they go up again when the timer hits zero!

Watch how you can use textures to change any dull mid-grey backdrop into something completely different.
