Sand Stone Texture
Here's how to make this Texture:
- Open new image, 150 x 150, with white background. Add Noise (Image, Noise, Add) Uniform, 100%.
- Apply Gray Scale (Colors, Gray Scale). Increase Color to 16 million (Colors, Increase Color Depth, 16 million Colors).
- Sharpen (Image, Sharpen, Sharpen) the image looks almost totally white. Set foreground color to White. Apply Hot Wax Coating (Image, Other, Hot Wax Coating).
- Sharpen More 2 times (Image, Sharpen, Sharpen More).
- Resize the image to 75 x 75. Sharpen once (Image, Sharpen, Sharpen).
- Add new Layer (Name it Color).
- Optional: You can save the graphic at this point as a Paint Shop Pro Image, and you can use it as much as you want, adding the color that you want.
- Flood fill the Color Layer with a color of your choice. Adjust the Opacity Slider to what you want (I set mine to 45). Merge layers and save.
