Rust Texture

Rust Sample

			1. This is not really a tutorial on something particular, but rather an example of how one could use the Base Rust texture to create some rusty'n'dirty stuff.
			2. First step is to create a Base Rust texture. It's recomended that you make an Action for this texture if you use it more than once.
			3. Create a new layer. Set foreground color to white and background to black. Select the Linear Gradient¹ tool and make a gradient from the left to the right as shown in the picture.
			4. Apply Glass filter (Filter > Distort > Glass) with Distortion and Smoothness set to 5.
			5. Set Blending Mode to Color Burn. This will create effect of old, rough-looking edges.
			6. Load selection² from one of the channels (shown in the picture) used for the Base Rust texture.
			7. Using the Paint Bucket¹, fill selection with R: 169; G: 139; B: 79; HEX: A98B4F;.
			8. Set Blending Mode of the current layer to Color Burn. Add a layer mask² by clicking on the button to the left to the New Layer button in the Layers palette.
			9. Select the Airbrush¹, set Pressure to 10% and select one of the soft brushes (size 27-35). Set foreground color to black. Click on the mask's thumbnail to switch to mask editing mode. Using the Airbrush¹ tool, paint in some places where you would like to have "rusty" spots. You should get something like that shown in the picture. If you have a tablet, you can get much better results.
			10. Select the Sharpen¹ tool. Set Pressure to 50%. Select the layer with the Base Rust. Sharpen paces where you have "rusty" spots from the previous step, but don't overdo it.
