First
off
create
a
new
layer
and
fill
it
with
a
light
brown
somewhat
close
to
the
shade
you
would
like
your
wood
to
be.
Now
go
to
FILTER>NOISE>ADD
NOISE
with
an
amount
of
12
or
so,
with
the
GAUSSIAN
and
MONOCHROMATIC
options
both
checked.
**Note:
These
thumbnails
are
just
small
shots
of
the
full
canvas,
I
used
a
300x300
canvas
for
this
effect.
Next
go
to
FILTER>BLUR>MOTION
BLUR
with
an
angle
of
90
degrees
and
a
distance
of
20
(anywhere
from
10
and
up
is
good,
use
your
best
judgment
on
what
looks
like
wood
to
you)
Go
to
SHARPEN>UNSHARP
MASK
with
an
amount
of
500,
a
radius
of
0.5
and
a
threshold
of
0
**This
step
is
not
required
and
is
an
extra**
Now
if
you
want
to
make
knots
in
your
wood
texture
follow
these
steps.
Open
up
the
option
pallet
for
the
marquee
tool
(double
click
on
marquee
tool)
and
put
a
value
of
40
in
the
FEATHER
box.
Make
an
oval
selection
in
your
wood
texture
slightly
bigger
than
you
want
the
knot.
Go
to
FILTER>DISTORT>TWIRL
and
put
the
angle
to
whatever
you
want
your
knot
to
look
like.
I
used
an
angle
of
800
And
there
you
are,
finished.
Without
knots
this
texture
is
very
tile-able!
here
are
some
examples
of
designs
where
I
used
this
texture.
