Hi, does anyone know a website that has good *free* backgrounds for digital portraits?
Here's some examples: http://www.angelfire.com/film/dennovas/All-thumbs.jpg and backgrounds like these two images:   I saw some sites a long time ago that had some really nice ones, but I can't find them anymore. =oT All I can find is tacky fake looking stuff. *sigh* Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |

For the second photo, you use motion blur on everything but the main focus of the picture. Actually, just some type of blur.
The first one looks like a... Probably cheapy fake velvet background. It's, like, a piece of fabric on a stand that you can take with you when you take photographs. |

I'm looking for digital backgrounds similar to those styles. Not real backgrounds or how they were done.

You could try using some patterned backgrounds and blurring those; I'm not sure how well that would work.
Or you could try these: http://www.tbe.through-the-rain.net/ and then click on "textures" in the menu. You could always colorize them too. |

Yea I tried making my own and blurring some patterns but they didn't look really professional like those "classic studio backgrounds."
 I just found a website though with what I'm looking for but their CD costs $59.  http://www.amvona.com/v7/shop/?page=shop/i...ded_backgrounds But on eBay right now it's 0.25 cents.. lol. So hopefully I can win that. I just need them for some portraiture stuff I'm working on. The site u gave me have really nice textures though, I'll try experiementing with those.
