Hello guys! Welcome to this tutorial about creating many types of textures from your macro photos easily and with spending minimum of your time. :)
Firstly you have to ask yourself for what do you need to use your texture - if you need it for some game and you want to simulate texture of something for example of rocks then go out, find some rocks or stones and take a picture of it. * Here's the trick it has to be close up/macro photo of it not just that you take a picture of some stone in grass from 2 meters :D
Set your camera to manual and set you focus as close as it possible, or if you can't do this manually go with your phone as close as your camera is able to focus and tap on that object which you want to take a picture of - in this case it's going to be a rock. If you complete this take another pictures from different angles so you will have different kinds of textures.

If you've done this 60% of work is done now post production part - you have got some photos of the rock but what now? Nobody wants to have a texture of random rocks as a material for their house! You can do the post production with almost every photo editor but I do this kind of PP with Adobe photoshop Express. If you don't have it, download it :) It's free.
Firstly open the photo which you want to edit and put the clarity at maximum 100% do the same with sharpen (you if the photo is not colored enough try to use the vibrance). Sounds crazy but trust me, it works. :)
Then open filters and go through them - some of them will certainly look good on your photo. And that's it. It's simple as that. Now go back to your PC and use this texture for cubes in you own version of Minecraft :D.
If you're not IT specialist don't worry, maybe you just want to use it as the background of something :).. and as I said, you can take pictures like these almost of everything!
