Industrial Template
This weeks Friday Freebie is an industrial style border and texture which has a wonderful 3D feel. The standout feature must be the rectangle of red bolts. There’s no Photoshop here’s that’s exactly as I found them.

With those bright red bolts and the metal texture the sort of photo that’s likely to work best is something with an industrial feel. I found mono images worked well but don’t let that limit your imagination. If the red bolts are a bit too bright then reduce the templates saturation value to suit your taste.
The sample image here was simply placed above the template, resized to fit and the layer blending mode was changed to Overlay. Other blending modes will also work so experiment away.

I thought the template called for a nautical theme. http://www.flickr.com/photos/24120976@N03/9377151586/
I used hue/sat layers to tone down the HDR on the boat and another to take some of the red from the bolts. A layer mask protected the detail in the bolts and helped to hem in the image. The blend mode was Vivid Light and the opacity reduced to 74%.
Thanks Gavin for another creative freebie.
thanks gavin for another freebie.i used it to good effect(I think) as the bolts are the same colour as the forth rail bridge,but desaturated the bridge image before changing the blend mode.
Thanks! I don’t know how to leave a photo in here, but I had a play with the friday freebie and it is fab!!

Hi Gavin.
I was wondering if you could help solve a problem i have with lightroom I’m having? Its regarding the Youtube video by Adorama on photobooth automation Ep118. I know how great you are with lightroom 🙂 I want to set up a booth like David has in his but when i play the slideshow on my second monitorthe new images wont add to the slideshow playlist even though they are in the timeline. The only way to get them to join the slideshow is to stop it and play it again which isn’t very good for an instant photobooth. Any help you could give me would be much appreciated.

Thank you Gavin for your industrial template. I put it together with some farm machinery with hay bales attached that have been sitting in a field for many years and so have that rustic look. Unfortunately, I’m not on flickr or blog as may people do these days, so can’t attach photo for everyone to see (which is just as well as not confident about my work anyway).
I’m glad I found your website, as your tutorials are clearly explained and you inject a sense of humour. I only have elements 7 and feel that before long you might be too advanced for me but meanwhile I will try to follow and make use of your previous freebies and tutorials.
