Image textures, but simplified...

This pack started with Naked Elements. With version 2, I wanted more and better textures. I explored Mexico and beyond for more textures that work on any kind of photo. They can be quickly adjusted, intense or soft. Next, I went to work on new Photoshop actions. Now textures are dropped, softened, mixed, masked, and blended instantly. Naked is not just a texture pack, it's a system.

Real Wet Plate and Darkroom Borders....

Customers have asked me for borders for a long time. I started carefully collecting wet plates and vintage negative images. Then extracting the edges and erosions. I used real images to create transparent borders that are true to the darkroom.

The result is this awesome system. It brings the best from my old Naked Elements textures. Then makes everything better and more useful. Naked Darkroom is the ultimate border and texture pack for professionals

Add border - add texture - add both!

Why do you want textures? Many photography think textures are just cheesy or too much, but it's because they are not using them fully. Textures are surfaces layers over in various transparent modes on photos to create subtle and definition. 

They can be used bold or so subtle you barley notice. But in each case they have the power to refine you edits, much like we choose textures papers for effect back in the darkroom days.

The same with borders.... Whether for online or print, a well done border helps define and showcase your work and set it apart in a small screen, fast print world.

What Naked Darkroom does is take textures and borderland make then easy. Using ultra high quality surfaces and border images. Then adding instant actions that let you tinker and change it up fast.

Play it safe, or get a little painterly and crazy!

#1 Add a texture to enhance surface and detail. Make it bold or gentle and switch around easily using the Naked Darkroom Actions.

#2 Add a border. Created from real darkroom images, get clean contact print looks or bold wet plate and sloppy edges. Instantly change color and border style for web album or wall print presentation.

#3. Adjust your mix. Everything is cleanly stacked in layers. Unlike plugins, you're not locked in and you can mask, adjust and control every detail with the actions or manually until its' perfect.

I'm Gavin Seim. I'm a Shadow Hunter

I started photography in 1997 at age 12. I'm a PPA Master, Hot One and Loan Collection winner and Lightroom expert. My images, tools and workshops have been featured in books and throughout the industry.
 

I was born in WA USA. I started working pro (using that word loosely as I sucked) using film at age 16. It was not easy to find training then and often I beat my head against the wall to win. 20+ years in the trenches earned me my Masters (M.Photog) from PPA but it taught me that's just the start.


I moved to Mexico in 2017, exploring the magical light of the South, creating tools and workshops as well as the Pro Photo Podcast. There's lots of videos and free things here. If you have questions I'm here to help

You're rightly skeptical of photography tools in today's market. That's why all sales are NOT FINAL here. I guarantee each tool and workshop with my 31 day No-Regrets Guarantee! --
