Texture is a very important design element. We frequently use them to make website backgrounds or to enrich our print design. Today I am going to show you how to make a seamless realistic fabric texture in Photoshop. It will take just 3 steps to create this texture – its that easy ! It will come handy in case of large files as it’ll repeat on its own. You won’t have to worry about tiling the texture. We’ll be using the in-built Photoshop filters and blending modes to create this texture.
1. Create a new file in Photoshop from File>New (ctrl+n) . I have taken a 450×450 canvas with black background. You can take the canvas size and color according to your requirement.
2. Select Filter>Texture>Texturizer. Set the texture option to Canvas and increase the scaling to about 91% and relief to 2.
The document will now look like this:
3. Now copy the background layer with this texture and rotate it by 90 degree.
Set the layer’s blending mode to ‘Screen‘
And here we have our quick fabric texture:
I have added the sharpness filter to enhance it a little bit.
If you want to enhance it more then you can use the Curves from Image>Adjustments>Curves (ctrl+m)
This is what we’ll get after applying the curves:
You can change the color from Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation (ctrl+u) according to your choice or use colored layers instead. I made one in blue using the following settings:
