Quick Tip: Create Your Own Leather Texture Using Filters Posted: 27 May 2010 09:45 AM PDT In today’s quick tip tutorial we will demonstrate how to create a leather texture from scratch using Photoshop filters. Step 1 Create a new file with a white background. Set the foreground and background color to black and white by pressing D. Click Filter > Texture > Stained Glass. Step 2 Create new layer and fill it with white. Change its opacity to 50%. Repeat previous filter by pressing Cmd + F. If you want tweak the setting use Cmd + Alt + F. Step 3 Press Cmd + E to merge both layers. Click Filter > Noise > Add Noise. Step 4 Press Cmd + A then Cmd + C to copy all to clipboard. Open Channels panel and create new channel. Then Paste (Cmd + V). Step 5 Click RGB channel to return to Background layer. Click Edit > Fill, choose Use: Color and pick your color. You can use any color you want, just make sure it’s dark enough for the next filter. Step 6 Click Filter > Render > Light Effects. In Texture Channel choose Alpha 1. Step 7 The default light is too dark. You need to add more light sources by dragging the lamp icon to the preview box. Set its type to Omni. Step 8 Click OK and the result should look something like below. Step 9 Change the background and foreground color to white and black by pressing D then X. Activate the Gradient Tool, choose radial with white to transparent. Create a new layer and draw a gradient. Step 10 Change opacity to 4%. This will add subtle lighting to the leather. Step 11 The Lighting Effects filter will add a small border to the image (just a few pixels). To remove it, click Image > Canvas Size and reduce the size of the image. Step 12 (Optional) You can change the color by adding an adjustment layer Hue/Saturation. Check colorize and move sliders until you satisfied with the result. Final Image That’s it.
