Photoshop: Create an autumnal abstract

In this Photoshop tutorial I’m going to blend several colourful and highly textured autumn leaf shots to create a multi-layered and highly coloured artwork that will look great printed, framed and hung on the wall, writes Andrew James. We’ll use some of the techniques Jon covered in his Get Arty Textures tutorial but you’ll need to start by shooting some macro shots of autumn leaves. We’ll use Photoshop Layers and Blending Modes to get our final result but the beauty of this is that you can be as ‘arty’ as you like because you can experiment and try lots of different images and blending mode combinations. It’s a great way to spend a few hours when it’s raining outside.
