Episode 18: Custom Textures

October 28th, 2008

Hello again and welcome back for another episode of the Photoshop HelpCast!  Sorry I was late a few days, I was a bit busy.  Anyways, over the next few weeks I’m going to be showing you a bunch of techniques I used in my latest wallpaper, “Stroked Blue.”  So to start off, this week, I’m going to show you how to make your own unique texture from one or more pictures. You may want to use this technique if the original texture is too low resolution or maybe you just want it to be sort of your own. You don’t really need the PSD for this one as it is just a flat layer, so I’m going to leave it out this time, but you can find some other resources in the full article. Enjoy!
