I'm trying to paint leather-ish textures on clothing to get the right highlights and wrinkle areas to give it the right texture.  Tried using the plastic filter, but it still doesn't give me the right affect.  Does anyone have any tips?  Thanks!

Try using noise for the highlight. Apply the noise where you want it in a different layer, Lighten the noise up,  then try various blurring modes on it. Then try different apply modes on it. Don't really know, just guessing, but that's what I'd do for leather highlights.

Talent is God's gift to you. Using it is your gift to God.

I've used the PS patterns  to add texture to fabrics.  It worked OK but the opacity needs adjusting.. Photoshop 7 has a leather pattern..

You can try the filters, I cant recall exactly where offhand at the moment but for tiles.  You can tile your color, then use other filters to stretch it and wave it.  From there do a noise filter and it should work really well.

I'm boring - I'd find a photo of black leather, bring it into the image, change the Mode to Screen, adjust Levels until no black shows and it's all highlights, and Transform it into place and Warp - or Liquify Filter - it until it's the correct distortion.

I figure why bother making one up that might not be realistic - just use the real thing.

Hope this helps-
