Soil. We’ve all come across or have been marked by this unclean substance. Yet it is useful and versatile in its core and has been used even as textures in design projects.

However, it does create a gritty and natural appearance when layered onto images that are to be edited. With editing software improving their game with every new version released, it is possible for designers and its users to create and alter images using textures and in this case, soil textures.

If you find that the textures you used cannot be tiled, you could always use the tools present in Adobe Photoshop. A quick and simple tool to use is the healing brush. It is found on the Tools window and carefully apply it to the edges that need to be edited to create a seamless background.

Second and most practical method is using the offset filter and the blending using the clone tool. Using offset filter changes the values of the images and then some tonal values would be visible. When that happens, make necessary adjustments to even out the lighting in the image. The clone tool is duplicating or removing objects of an image. Clone tool is to be used after the previous process to do the finishing touches of an image.
