Wow. Great effect and very well explained. Good job.

After completing the lighting effects part in step three it gives me an error message and then the effect cancels???

awesome tutorial. it amazes me how you can create such startling effects from filters that you wouldnt expect to be able to do it with. thanks!

Before your tutorial, i would google to search for rock textures like the one in your tutorial.

A real time saver.

Thanks for posting it

I enjoyed this tutorial, it was a lot easier than I expected! It'll be great to make my own texture~

I am trying out this tutorial but for some reason I can't add lighting effects to the first layer and I definitely have it selected. I am making my own rock texture in a different colour would that be the problem ?

After working on the new Channel (Alpha 1) in Step 2, you need to select the RGB Channel (at the top of the Channels palette) before you switch back to Layers in Step 3.

Ah I see it now I had my mode set in CMYK instead of RGB, and so it wouldn't give me lighting options .
