Speaking of other programs... I almost always use Painter for applying textures, rather than PhotoShop. The reason for that is Painter's Dye Concentration filter. You invert the texture you are planning to apply first and use the dye concentration filter to adjust the saturation of the image based on the gray scale values in the pattern. If you then apply the texture over top of that, it really looks like it "grew there". Painter also gives you much better control over how the texture is applied than PhotoShop does. You can adjust lighting angles and color, light intensity, ratio of texture to picture, shine, and reflectivity with real time feed back. If you have Painter (if you don't you can download a trial version from MC I think) try what I've just described the next time you're making a texture for "Posette". I think you'll be impressed with what it can do....
