In this example, I'll turn a stock texture image into a brush. Note that I am using Photoshop CS5. Here is my original image:

They are all 2500 pixel by 2500 pixel and make great texture brushes; I left all the surface dinginess in them. Maybe next time I'll make a set where I trim the brushes down to just the scratches. Let me know...

Some nice results can be...
