BSAZ Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 This tutorial is available as a PDF. Click here to view or download it Never thought I would be doing this, but here I go: We will be making this: Plugins needed: None Step 1: Create a blank canvas 800x600 Step 2: Run clouds with the Blend Mode set as Difference TWICE. Everything else can be default Step 3: Invert colors, and do levels with the right bar that is in the middle all the way down Step 4: Run Emboss with default settings Step 5: Do adjustments>Sepia Step 6: Add a layer :AddNewLayer: and run clouds twice with the Blend Mode set as Difference. Set the Layer Blend Mode to Overlay Step 7 Run curves :Curves: with the settings shown below There you go! You have your moss texture! There are a few other things to do to make it look more... um... mossy, but I don't have time to go over them right now. I have a date tonight at 6:00 and I have to get ready Thanks for reading! As an extra step, you could Gaussian Blur the lower layer at a radius of 2 for an extra mossy effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
