But last year we invested in an upgrade to the brand-new, full package including InDesign and the latest PS, and I'm SO GLAD we did! Given that I've been doing these designs, it became necessary.

I always end up doing it twice--once with watermarked images to make sure it's what we're going for, then with the purchased images. All in Photoshop, yes. =) <br /><br />The paid images were from Shutterstock and iStockPhoto -- the free tulip image and dress were from wikimedia, and I found the texture in a search for "free Photoshop textures." Designers often put packs of these up online as freebies, which I love. =)Roseanna Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245767775900250399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652659672729617168.post-11947317320744820752014-08-06T07:51:16.626-04:002014-08-06T07:51:16.626-04:00Wow.
