Textures 3# Dissolves

Part 3 of the texturising-tutorial: In this part: Make a texture fade into a different texture!

• Step 1 For this tutorial, I made an extra texture: The tarmac-stone.
  We will need a document of 384x128.
  Place one of the textures in the left corner and in the middle, and the other in the right corner and the middle;

  

• Step 2 Since this is a stone, we need to break it apart but cutting of some pieces with a desired tool;

  

• Step 3 To make it realistic, add a drop-shadow!

  

• Step 4 It will come out like this:

  

• Step 5 Use a black brush to brush some dirt on a new layer;

  

• Step 6 Now lower the opacity;

  

• Step 7 Press Ctrl+E and Ctrl+U and play around with the settings;

  

• Step 8 And after that, turn on the grid and grab your texture out of there by merging all layers and cropping the selection!
