Wetzel And Company

What program did you use to create your Watercolors?

Watercolor Backgrounds, Digital Pastels, and Black & White Patterns were all made the old fashioned way…by hand and not on computer. Acually, all of our “Art Backgrounds” were done by hand.

The Watercolors were all painted on 11 x 14 inch rag paper. Quite often, multiple transparent layers were used before the desired effect was reached.

What exactly does Royalty Free mean?

You are free to use any of Wetzel & Company’s images, privately or in commercial projects without any additional usage fees. However, each CD as a collection is copyrighted. Duplication and/or distribution in digital form (sharing or resale of the files) of any Wetzel & Company CDs or single images is strictly forbidden without prior written permission.

Why are your images in JPEG format, and can I convert them to TIFFs?

Because we chose to save all of our images as compressed JPEGs, we were able to put more images on one CD. Having said that, we opted for the least compression possible for optimum results. Once you open one of our files, you can “save as” a TIFF, EPS or whatever file type you wish.

What other programs work with your CDs?

We sell JPEG images - therefore any program that can open a JPEG can utilize our CDs. Photoshop Elements, is actually Photoshop “light” and most of our tutorials should work great. To get the full benefit of my CDs, your application should be able to create layers. Microsoft’s Digital Image can create it’s version of layers called objects. These objects are “stacked”. Stacks are Microsofts version of layers. Unfortunately, you’ll have to experiment on your own and interpret my tutorials to achieve the same effects.
