Easy textures Make your own paper textures 3D effects Making borders fade to background Seamless tiles - the easy and the hard way Visitorīs contributions EASY TEXTURES These tutorials will show how to make textures using PSPīs effects such as "Add Noise", "Hot Wax Coating", "Motion Blur", "Emboss" etc. The textures can be used for backgrounds, buttons, banners, dividers and more. To get a feeling for how these effects works, go through the tutorials several times, but try your own variations and see how the image is affected. In a few of the tutorials (marked with (P)), I use plugin filters. They can be downloaded from the actual tutorial page. Only free filters are used.
