This tutorial covers the aspects of Texturing in Photoshop, and creating Mats/Material Presets in both Poser AND DS.
The tutorial is specifically written for Photoshop users. The techniques of creating brushes and using those brushes may or may not apply to all paint programs.
This tutorial assumes you have the basic skills to navigate photoshop's layer tools, where the tool bar is and being able to use the paint brush at least a little.
I strongly recommend the use of a tablet with this tutorial but it is possible to do without one.
