For this tutorial I am
going to use a texture taken from Mayang
(visit the website for high resolution of the texture)
1. Open the texture in Photoshop
2. In the main menu follow this
path: Filter->Other->Offset (I ussually specify 500 for vertical and
horizontal offset)
3. Using CLONE STAMP TOOL (
or press "S" to switch to stamp tool ), start to clone and cover with
texture those unwanted areas. Pressing SHIFT you cand specify from
where to clone
4. Clone as long as it's necessary
being carefull not to destroy the quality of the texture.
5. After you finnish the first
session of clonning, press again Filter->Other>Offset and make sure
the texture is ok, whitout any strange areas that can affect the look
of the object where you are planning to use the texture. You have
to be very carefull when cloning, otherwise the tile of the texture
will be very obvious and I guess you don't want this. It doesn't matter
how many times you use the Offset command. The final look is what
that really matters
6. That's all folks
