Sharing some Camouflage Tiles

I was brainstorming for some ideas for this week’s installment and thought why not offer readers here some camouflage tiles to work with.

Ironically camouflage is one of the most searched for items when people are coming to Wildheart’s Works. To give you an idea of just how widely it is searched for let me give you a brief rundown of some stats for the last five months in relation to this.

In the two tiles below all I did to give them a little texture was go to Adjust>Add Noise>Gaussian>Noise to 15%. Of course you can play with the settings until you find something you prefer. I just randomized the settings until I came across this one. I thought it looked very natural and not too grainy.

The original tiles were found just randomly surfing looking for free elements for paint shop pro.
