Ah, it's really help me a lot thank you.
But, I have a question, when I drag the texture to my background layer, it looks so small, and only fill half of the picture. How can I resize/make the texture bigger, so it will fill the whole picture?

ok i'm technically retarded and for some reason i'm having issues getting my original pic to accept the texture. it keeps opening it up as a new pic instead, i can't get it to be another layer. Any advice? I'm lost.

The Chang Temple picture is combined stock image used with my stock too. Please credit me as well for that image: [link]

Other than that, really nice tutorial! Very easy to understand.

You bet. I can see why you've decided not to let others change your stock -- it's confusing, and I bet you hate having to track stuff down like this.

Thanks so much for letting me know and I will get that fixed!
