This tutorial will show you how to turn a nice photo into some messy and grungy texture. Please note: all images are scaled down! The original size of the texture is 1000x750 pixels. The preview images in the tutorial are mini-versions. Just click on them to see a 500x375 sized version! >> .01 First of all, find a picture that has some nice colors in it. I chose this one, because it has some nice blue and bown-ish organge in it. (As it will turn out later... the blue won't come out as strong as I initially wanted it to... but they usually don't so I'm a happy camper as long as I like the final result.) To turn this photo (taken in Barcelona by my sister - please don't redistribute!) into a nice texture I decided to blur it a little. I felt if I didn't it would turn out to be a weirdly colored picture of a beach, a strange piece of art and some people. I used the gaussian blur filter. I can't remember my exact numbers but they depend on the individual photo anyway. Just make sure that you can still recognize your colors, don't want to turn them into a big mushy brown mess. Otherwise you'll end up with a big mushy brown texture... which could be pretty, too, so you might as well try it :) >> .02 Then I duplicated that blurry image twice and set both copies to screen at 100% opacity. Your image will look veeery light now, but that's okay, we'll fix it in the next steps. >> .03 I took another photo with some nice warm orange-ish colors on it. [this one/i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/theme/silver/palette.gif" target="_blank">http://i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/theme/silver/palette.gif); VISIBILITY: visible; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0pt; MARGIN: 0pt; VERTICAL-ALIGN: top; BORDER-LEFT: 0pt; WIDTH: 14px; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; PADDING-TOP: 1px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY: "trebuchet ms",arial,helvetica,sans-serif; POSITION: static; TOP: auto; HEIGHT: 12px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; TEXT-DECORATION: none" src="http://i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/t.gif" alt="" />] Paste it on top of your other - now blurry - photo and the copies (your layers should be: blurry photo - copy of blurry photo on screen - copy of blurry photo on screen - photo with warm colors). The original is way bigger than the one I linked you to. I moved it around a bit and got this (#1) and then set it to color burn (#2). >> Shiny, isn't it? .04 I wanted to add some grungy-noisy-whatever stuff to my soon-to-be texture, so I took these scans (I made them a while ago and I don't think I ever uploaded them) and pasted them in as new layers on top of everything. I set the first one to linear burn and the other two to color burn, all at a 100% opacity. This is what I got: >> .05 Then I took a scan [this one/i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/theme/silver/palette.gif" target="_blank">http://i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/theme/silver/palette.gif); VISIBILITY: visible; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0pt; MARGIN: 0pt; VERTICAL-ALIGN: top; BORDER-LEFT: 0pt; WIDTH: 14px; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; PADDING-TOP: 1px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY: "trebuchet ms",arial,helvetica,sans-serif; POSITION: static; TOP: auto; HEIGHT: 12px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; TEXT-DECORATION: none" src="http://i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/t.gif" alt="" />] (scaled down, also made by me, you can find a slightly different, color enhanced version of it in this post) in order to add some more texture to the texture (xD) and bring out the colors a little more. I moved it around a bit and covered some parts with a layer mask (#1) I set the blend mode to color burn at 100% and got this: (#2) >> .06 Still not enough color, so I duplicated this layer (the scan from step 5) and got this: >> .07 The texture wasn't grungy enough so I added this texture/i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/theme/silver/palette.gif" target="_blank">http://i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/theme/silver/palette.gif); VISIBILITY: visible; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0pt; MARGIN: 0pt; VERTICAL-ALIGN: top; BORDER-LEFT: 0pt; WIDTH: 14px; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; PADDING-TOP: 1px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY: "trebuchet ms",arial,helvetica,sans-serif; POSITION: static; TOP: auto; HEIGHT: 12px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; TEXT-DECORATION: none" src="http://i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/t.gif" alt="" /> (made by gender, now dearest), inverted the colors and moved it around a bit. I set the blend mode to multiply. >> .08 I took these two textures [1/i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/theme/silver/palette.gif" target="_blank">http://i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/theme/silver/palette.gif); VISIBILITY: visible; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0pt; MARGIN: 0pt; VERTICAL-ALIGN: top; BORDER-LEFT: 0pt; WIDTH: 14px; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; PADDING-TOP: 1px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY: "trebuchet ms",arial,helvetica,sans-serif; POSITION: static; TOP: auto; HEIGHT: 12px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; TEXT-DECORATION: none" src="http://i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/t.gif" alt="" />|2/i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/theme/silver/palette.gif" target="_blank">http://i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/theme/silver/palette.gif); VISIBILITY: visible; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0pt; MARGIN: 0pt; VERTICAL-ALIGN: top; BORDER-LEFT: 0pt; WIDTH: 14px; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; PADDING-TOP: 1px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY: "trebuchet ms",arial,helvetica,sans-serif; POSITION: static; TOP: auto; HEIGHT: 12px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; TEXT-DECORATION: none" src="http://i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/t.gif" alt="" />], both made by gender, added them as new layers, moved them around a bit, covered some parts with layer masks and set them both to screen. >> .09 Yet another texture from gender, this one/i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/theme/silver/palette.gif" target="_blank">http://i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/theme/silver/palette.gif); VISIBILITY: visible; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0pt; MARGIN: 0pt; VERTICAL-ALIGN: top; BORDER-LEFT: 0pt; WIDTH: 14px; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; PADDING-TOP: 1px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY: "trebuchet ms",arial,helvetica,sans-serif; POSITION: static; TOP: auto; HEIGHT: 12px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; TEXT-DECORATION: none" src="http://i.ixnp.com/images/v3.15/t.gif" alt="" /> (the texture is huge!) set to screen at 50%. >> .10 Then I took that same texture again and inverted the colors. I set this layer to multiply at 100% and duplicated it (until it was grungy enough). >> And that's pretty much it. I'm done. As you may have noticed while going through this... I really don't have a plan for what kind of result I want to achieve. All this happens while I experiment, so that's what you should do. Take a picture with some nice colors and go crazy on it ;D I'm having a blast making this kind of textures and I hope you will too! I won't upload a psd for this! The file is HUGE! (over 100 MB for the original sized texture). If you want me to upload the original sized versions of scans and textures I used for this, just let me know! Please don't follow this tutorial step-by-step. I'd love to know what you think and see some results :D
