4. Organic Textures

by arraich (24 tutorials)

May-27-2003

With Photoshop, you can simulate almost any organic texture that you can imagine. The hard part is choosing from the many possible routes for generating textural variations in tone and color. This abundance of possibilities is both the best and worst thing about making textures in Photoshop. You are swamped with options.

If you think I am exaggerating, sit down and follow me through this lesson.
