I have Photoshop CS2 and I've been trying this texture since 2 days now. I ALWAYS get stuck at this point: Create a new layer and fill it with dark brown color. The whole layer turns Dark brown, even the masked area. I used the Magic wand tool instead of the masked area n filled it wth dark brown but the spots didnt have feathery edges like yours.It's driving me crazy!!! Please Help!!!
