This Photoshop tutorial will walk you through the process of creating a textured collage with your photos. Photoshop effects like this are incredibly versatile and are perfect to use for all you digital scrapbooking needs.
1. Choose a texture that is primarily one color. You can find great freebies, including free textures, at BittBox. Open it up in Photoshop as the background image and make it into a layer. Then name the layer "texture" and resize it and the canvas to fit the size that you want the page to be.
2. Paste photos onto separate layers and resize them a little bigger than you want them to show up. Don't worry if the photos overlap, you'll fix this in the next step.
3. Delete the edges of each photo with a soft eraser brush. The less background left in each image, the better. I'm showing each photo here on a transparent background so that you can see the edges more easily.
And here they are on top of the Texture layer.
5. At this point, decide if you want to add more photos. I wanted the overall image to be a bit fuller so I added one two more (the horses and the baby birds) and shifted things around a bit.
6. Add any finishes touches you'd like, and you've made a beautiful collage scrapbook page!
