Elements! This tutorial was created using Photoshop Elements 4.0
1. Open a new document. Any size is acceptable; this tutorial
was done using a 600 x 600 pixel document at 200 ppi.

distance of 47. This can be altered.
7. Crop the document down to get rid of the outside edges.

texture! Use dodge to add some dimension, or make a pattern out
of it to fill any document!
