Wood Textures - Part 3
Software : Photoshop 6.0
Level : Intermediate

Concept: We are creating unpolished surface of the wood texture using Adobe Photoshop. You need to know filters, image adjustment commands and proper use of colors for this lesson. The scratched or rough surface can be used for buttons for presentation, web buttons and/ or web layouts and it can be used for backgrounds also if done properly. Making texture is an art but correct usage of texture also demand some experience.
