Anyone Know where I can find textures...

[SQ-2 Rock]

I was hoping to find some free ones (if any of you know of a website that I can trust not to give me a virus), but I'm not opposed to paying for them if its a good deal.

Thoughts?

Also, just for grins, what are some of your favorite textures for sprucing up portraits?

stock.xchng - the leading free stock photography site has some.

There are also groups on flickr dedicated to sharing textures. If you want to pay iStockPhoto has some I think.

There are thousands of free textures in this group (textures for layers) on flickr.

Here are some on Flickr that someone put up for free downloads. I just used one the other day for the first time. Never tried working with layers in Paintshop Pro but felt I had to with this shot.

Try Shadowhouse Creations. Jerry is very generous with his free texture and brushes. He also has some tutorials about working with them.

Another free offering complete with tutorials, I just noticed that Rita from Coffeeshop also has some new free textures up.

I second Saralonde's vote for Shadowhouse. The hauntings series is one of my all time favorites.
