I have a few old tutorials aimed at Paint Shop Pro that show some texture creating tips. Not sure if they are of general interest but maybe someone will find them useful.

I've made the url clickable for ya sir (added [ url ] [ /url ])
I'm no good with PSP, but the results you've created are pretty darn good (checked 'cracks' ).

Thanks

Stefan

Thanks Stefan.

Thanks for these, bupaje !

Especialy the wood stuff and the 2nd cracks method (sweet realistic rotten wood).
Very cool

I usually photosource stuff like that (desaturated hiogh contrast overlay or so) but I wanna achieve a more "handpainted" look, so any of such techniques is very useful to me
