An Image Made of Granite!
Creating a stone texture is even easier. A series of clouds and a little enhancement are more than enough to give the impression that your screen is made of granite!
Start by creating a new image and colour it black. The next step is to apply the filters:
- Select Filter > Render > Clouds.
- Select Filter > Render > Difference Clouds.
You will obtain a softer surface if you only use the Clouds filter. By adding the Difference Clouds filter, you can include
some uneven cracks and edges on the surface of the stone.
- Select Filter > Stylize > Emboss.
- Adjust the settings for this filter until you obtain the stone texture you are looking for.
In this case we have used an angle value of 135 and a height of 3.
