Anyone know of a good LARGE seamless roof shingle texture?
-
I've been looking everywhere but cannot find anything that's SEAMLESS and LARGE. Architectural-style preferred over three-tab. Although the "stock" Roof-Shingles-Multi is a decent texture, it's not large enough and the repeat/tiling can be easily seen at every scale. I've tried going thru all the major sources for jpegs. Any pointers would be helpful. thanks.

If you do a Google image search "roof" you will find some large photos. Too correct them and make them seamless in Photoshop:
Filter/Lens Correction...to get shingles to lie flat
Filter/Other/Offset...to create the horizontal and vertical seams
Burn or Dodge....to expose the image evenly (flatten) so that shadow/light/dirt are not creating a pattern.There are other ways to flatten...i.e.
You can "radial fill" towards the sun source with an opaque mask to reduce shadow. Take a neutral sample from the image. (this is a bit advanced and needs a bit of practice.)After a few tries it is quick solution to make your own and you never need to waste time looking again.
