Intro:
Howdy hey people. In this tutorial we are going to learn how to transform those vacation snapshots into tileable (is that a word?) textures. Well... maybe not vacation photos but close!

Preparation:
As always, I will be using Adobe Photoshop© in this tutorial. All references that I make will be to that program (duh!) but, this doesn't mean that this is the program that you have to use. Something like JASC Paintshop Pro will work. The programs mentioned have a trial version available for download. The links will be in the footnotes at the end of this tutorial.

 Just so you know!
