I made this stone texture when trying to learn how to make different textures years ago, its pretty easy and its all done through ‘filters’ not plugins. its so easy you don’t even need a mouse to do it..

Oh yeah theres probably 1,000,000 ways to do this, but this is the way i find the easiest

basically its some thing like this

Start with a new image. Select a dark gray as the foreground color, and a slightly desaturated orange as the background color. (though colours can be changed to give different effects)

Filter > Render > Clouds

Filter > Noise > Add Noise… Set the noise amount to 3, Distribution Gaussian, and check on Monochromatic.

In the Channels window, create a new channel , and select it.

Filter > Render > Difference Clouds

Filter > Noise > Add Noise… Keep the same setting as before, and hit OK.

Edit > Fade Add Noise… 50%

Filter > Render > Difference Clouds Now, keep pressing Ctrl+F to repeat the action, until the channel is balanced with black and white. This may take 2 or more tries.

Double click on this channel in the Channels window, and rename it Stone Map.

Go back to the Layers window, and select the layer we were working on before, probably named Background.

Filter > Render > Lighting Effects…

Set the Light Properties to:
Intensity: 59
Focus: 69
Set the Properties to:
Gloss: -100 (Shiny)
Material: 48 (Metallic)
Exposure: -8
Ambience: 7
Set the Texture Channel onto Stone Map, and the height to 100.

Now, tweak the positioning and direction of the light to achieve the desired effect.

Finally, Image > Adjust > Brightness/Contrast… and put both Brightness and Contrast up a bit.

you can make loads of texture doing this sorta stuff and save them as actions so you can automate the process.

if you find it difficult and cant be assed to do something like this, why not save it as an action!!

search for photoshop texture tutorials on google and see what comes up, you may be suprised..
