TLR Textures Collection: TLR Japanese Grass
Submitted by mitch on Mon, 03/09/2009 - 20:41.
This is the fourteenth high resolution Photoshop .PSD texture file from The Light's Right in the new TLR Textures Collection. These texture files are ideal for making composite grunge art effects.
Each file in the TLR Textures Collection is a high resolution scan of handmade art papers with unique textures and features. In this case, a Japanese fine art paper was used. The files have been resampled down to 12 x 8 inches at 240 ppi, but they retain lots of texture detail.
This file is called TLR Japanese Grass. It has a bright white color with grass detritus and a crinkled texture. The small thumbnail gives only a general impression of the texture that's evident in the Photoshop .PSD file. This texture is ideal for adding texture to photographic effects. One thought is to use the crinkled texture for giving sepia-toned photographs an antique, damaged look.

Very interesting print. I like the effect. Do you have any info on the grass ID?

Re. Grass ID
I don't know the sceintific name for the grass. Sorry.
I bought a number of fine art papers. This was one of them. I placed them on a flatbed scanner and made a high resolution scan.
The grass was embedded in the fine art paper. The paper texture was obviously that of a hand-made paper.
I asked because I've spent
I asked because I've spent the last couple of years working on grass and sedge ID (http://floridagrasses.org)
