Join Robin Schneider for an in-depth discussion in this video Making a denim texture, part of Photoshop for Fashion Design: Rendering Techniques.
…So let's do denim now.…Denim is a fabric that you're likely to use quite frequently.…I'm going to open a new file, and show you how to create denim…in about three clicks in Photoshop, which is pretty awesome.…Start by selecting a nice dark blue for your foreground color.…And a light powder blue for your background color.…And go ahead and fill the page with, actually, either of the blues.…It really doesn't matter.…
And we're going to go up to Filter> Filter Gallery because we want to…get to this one right here.…It's called Halftone Pattern.…And the default, actually, is perfect.…It's the size of one pixel and the contrast is five.…And we want the dot pattern.…And this is going to work, very, very well, just click OK.…We're half-way there.…I'm going to go ahead and zoom in so you can see this a little bit better.…We have one more filter to run.…Filter>Stylize>Diffuse, and here's the cool part.…
This filter gives you the choice of three different colors of denim.…We can have a normal denim, a darker denim or…a lighter denim, all built into Photoshop.…
