How Do You Make a Concrete Texture in Photoshop?

Last updated on January 26, 2023 @ 3:55 pm

There are several ways that you can make a concrete texture in Photoshop depending on what look you are going for with your final product.

One way is by using filters already available through Adobe Photoshop.

The “Texturize” filter can be found under Filter->Texture->Texturize.

Once selected there will be different types of concrete textures for you too choose from as well as options

to change things like depth, scale or relief.

Another way, if you are looking for more precision in where you place your concrete textures is by using the stamp tool.

This allows for you too take an area already established in your photograph and “clone” it so that you can then place that cloned area elsewhere on your photograph.

To do this simply select the stamp tool from your toolbar or press “S” on your keyboard.

Then hover over the area of your photograph that you want to clone.

Once selected click and drag your mouse over said area so that it is now cloned.

You can then take this cloned area and place it anywhere else on your photograph before releasing the mouse button which will “stamp” or apply that cloned area on top of whatever was there before.

A third way, which offers more creative freedom but could take some practice if you have never used similar functions in Photoshop before, is by using layer masks and adjustment layers.

To do this start by creating a new layer in Photoshop.

Then fill that layer with black using the Paint Bucket Tool.

Next go : Layer->Layer Mask->Reveal All.

Doing this should add a white layer mask on top of whatever was originally there.

From there, go: Image->Adjustments->Brightness/Contrast.

Once selected increase contrast until desired results are achieved.

Finally go: Image->Adjustments->Levels

And once again increase levels until desired look is reached for final product

PRO TIP: This tutorial shows you how to create a concrete texture in Photoshop. However, it is important to note that this technique can only be used for personal use and cannot be used for commercial purposes.
