In their own words
Texturelabs
Texturelabs is an online source of free original textures, tutorials, and custom tools for art and design. Its library spans subjects such as brick, concrete, fabric, glass, paper, stone, water, and wood, alongside atmosphere, film, grunge, and ink and paint. Tutorials cover Photoshop and After Effects. The Tools section includes Photoshop actions, brushes, gradient maps, patterns, and plugins, plus After Effects templates, bulk downloads, and lossless textures. Retratone offers print-style halftones, pattern styles, custom inks, and 100 built-in presets that users can save. Distressor is a Photoshop panel with 14 distress styles based on real-world samples. Textures can be used in personal and commercial work, including film, advertising, print, apparel, and video games, subject to restrictions against resale, redistribution, repackaging as competing design products, and AI training use. The plugins require Adobe Photoshop and Creative Cloud installation. Free textures and tutorials cost nothing; plugins and downloads are one-time purchases.
