Site Updated August 28, 2010

The sorted archive has been updated. All unsorted items were moved to their proper categories. Maintenance mode is complete. It will take a while for Google to update its records for locations of the recently moved files.

48 new Photos were added August 28, 2010 as a new category for the archive; a mix of subjects and sizes.

150 new Masks in jpg format were added to the sorted archive July 23, 2010. The new masks are numbered 0851 though 1000. The link in this paragraph will take you to page 43, the first page containing new masks.

35 new PNG or JPG images were also added July 23, 2010. Images include backdrops of various designs, blue wave, boy kicking soccer ball, chicken (hen), faceless figures, gold heart frame, yellow black frame, girl in pink dress, happy sun, pink, red, white swirl, silver and black extruded star, silver star with gold inset, woman in crop top and capris running, woman walking with purse. These images were added to the sorted archive as well, but these pages will be online for a while separately for people to find the latest files easier.

All pages in the archive and all files linked from them are subject to relocation, so please link only to this page. Hotlinking is not allowed. Copy the files you wish to use to your own web space and link to them there. The search engine may be out of sync with the location of the archived files at times, but you will at least be able to locate the page and category for the file you are interested in and browse directly to the images via the links below.

Javascript is used on most pages to display the full sizes images when you left click on an image thumbnail or text link. Right click on the full size image in the popup window to save the file to your computer. You need not close the popup window until you are done browsing this site; each click will reuse the same window.

Masks & Brushes

Masks and brushes are the most popular items on the site so I've placed the links to these items at the top.

1000 Masks in jpg format. All the masks are my original creations using selections, filters, tube flowers and plants, custom brushes and lots of hand painting and doodling. Many object masks (flowers, animals, etc) work well converted to custom brushes once the image is inverted so the object is black and the background is white and then the object is selected. You may want to tweak the lightness or contrast after inverting the mask image and before exporting your custom brush. Some masks are too large for Paint Shop Pro (Photo Pro, Pro Photo... whatever nom du jour) to use as brushes and must be resized to 999 pixels or 500 pixels or less to work, depending upon your software version. Many masks make good displacement maps. (PSP 9 or later - Effects- Distortion Effects - Displacement Map) Some masks also work well as alpha masks for planes to add a shape in shadow or a silhouette to a 3D scene.

Brushes for Paint Shop Pro and Adobe Photoshop.
