In this lab I learned how to create textures with using solo tools in photoshop. Using these tools i can create much more unique textures to use in future images instead of just importing images. With these techniques such as the gradient tool, i can improve the look of images i do import to Photoshop. It was also interesting to learn how to crop images to make a texture to fill an image, as this could lead to many interesting textures to use in future images.
