Photoshop

Photoshop files for architectural presentation, built for plans, sections and renders rather than photographs. The collection mixes ready-to-use assets with video courses that show the full workflow.

• ABR brush sets: plan and elevation trees, clouds, light, people silhouettes and pencil textures
• Plan rendering actions, scripts and the ArchiToolBox plugin
• Layered PSD presentation sheets, CV and cover letter templates
• Video courses on plan rendering, elevations, diagrams and render post-production

Keep line work above colour, put shadows on their own multiply layer and use masks instead of erasing. The same discipline that keeps a CAD file usable keeps a PSD editable a week later. For more brush sets see brushes and swatches, for materials see textures, and for full courses see video courses. Our guide to post-production without plugins covers the method.
