Description
Most people are probably going to know this stuff but I thought I'd do it for those who haven't lived half their lives in Photoshop like I have.The info is incomplete, but includes the functions that I tend to use most when noodling around in Photoshop with textures.
P.S.
tutorials for making your own paper textures:
Here are some of the textures I've uploaded:

Thank you so much! I've always thought layers looked amazing, but had no idea where to start! The links are also very useful.

The last few thumbs aren't showing up.
Great tutorial, I love the triple layers effect with overlay+difference+hue. I usually only go one layered rather than add more. Or use the same effect (I like overlay a lot). I'll definitely be mix and matching more.

Yeah I noticed that. And I can't imagine what's wrong. I copied them directly out of the deviation's thumb link. Very curious O.o;;

It's the qty. there's a limit of 5-6 on a deviation description. Any after that it just shows the thumb codes.

Ah, this is very helpful! I don't do a lot of digital art these days, but I will be sure to keep this in mind (and some of it will be helpful for altering traditional art too). I didn't know about the spot healing tool, that's so useful!

I knew some of the stuff, but you gave me some inspiration for other techniques, too. Definitely using these on some of my own paintings/textures!

If you have really big areas that you want to fix try using the clone stamp tool. It takes a bit of practice not to have patterns repeat too much, but it can be very handy.

Okay. Thank you for the advice! I've actually never tried using the clone stamp tool.

For the longest time, neither did I. I'd cut and paste part of the paper over the dot and meticulously soft-brush erase around it so that it fit. Ha ha.

Ahaha! That's what I've been doing. Or leaving it half the time because I'm feeling too lazy to do that.
