On to making Cool deep scratches

13. Keeping the current selection, create a new layer. Rename it to grooves..

14. In the layers pallete select the "Add a layer style" button, then select "Bevel and Emboss.."

15. Set the Style to Emboss, Depth anywhere from 50 to 150 (adjust to your taste), size to 1 to 5.

Under shading set the first angle to 90 and the second to 50. I've found that to make the skins look better the light should look like its coming from straight above as opposed the the 45 degrees were used too..

16. Set the brush to brush mode (as opposed to pen mode) and draw a simple line as such...

Because we still have the selection enabled we can hit delete to delete everything with the 'crawling-ants' and start again..... or use the undo key ctrl-z

17. This works great to make "mold" lines or seal joints. Try using the shift key and making a few straight lines. Hold shift down and draw horizontal or vertical lines. OR hit the mouse button once to "drop" a point, after that hold down the shift key and drop another point to make a straight line.

18. From the Options panel at the top of the screen (default) hit the Brush Dynamics button. Set the opacity to fade and the distance to 50 steps.

19. Clear the selected area and draw a few lines. With any luck it will look like this...

In the above image I used a brush sized either 1 or 3 pixels.

On to the paint chips!!!
