How to make camo in photoshop

Post by thearbiter »

Here is how:

Step 1.
Create a new 1024X1024 (or other size divizible by 64) pixels document. Press "D" and apply Filter > Render > Clouds.

Step 2.
Apply Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur with Radius->20 pixels (or less for a smaller size).



Step 3.
Apply Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast with the following settings: Brightness->+5; Contrast->+100. And then apply Filter > Blur > Blur More.



Step 4.
Duplicate this layer (press the right mouse button and apply Duplicate Layer). Apply Edit > Transform > Rotate 90 CW. Set the blending mode for the layer as "Multiply" and set the Opacity->50%. Press Ctrl+E.

You could stop here if you wanted a snow camo.

Step 5.
Now, it is the time for painting our texture into different green colours. Use the Magic Wand Tool for drawing out an area and then press SHIFT+F5 to fill it in different green colours.



Step 6.
You can use this texture as background on your Webpage. You can also make it as the pattern (press CTRL+A and apply Edit > Define Pattern) and fill any objects of this texture (Edit > Fill > Pattern). And that's it.

Photoshop does have a camo plugin where you put in up to 10 colors and it spits out a perfectly seamless camo textre, but nice tutorial none the less. Will help out people who don't have, know how to use, or just don't like the camo plugin.
