      Make woodfloor textures yourself with the great free: "Floor Texture Generator" by Martin Chudomel.
      http://www.matulik.host.sk/download.php?p=0
      Max texture size is 2000x2000 pixels.
      Output is not tiling so you'll have to fix that in Photoshop.

      To see what can be done here's one I've made:

                                      Don't be sorry, still a worthwhile contribution, either way.

                                        Krita has been mentioned before, but somehow lost on the thread. It has completely replaced my long years using Gimp. It's also free but way more advanced. Gimp has a lot of plugins, but Krita is way better.

                                        Krita is:

                                        • primarly a digital painting with a lot of brushes and an amazing and customizeable brushing system;
                                        • Brushes can also be used for clone/heal and everything can be configured to the smallest detail;
                                        • Non destructive layers for: Masks, Tone mapping and transformation effects.
                                        • And what unbelievable transformation effects you can get on those layers (I still can't believe they are non destructive);
                                        • Also if you replace the base layer image it applies the transformation/tonemapping effects to the new base image;
                                        • It is perfectly capable of all the color, levels, curves, saturation adjustments and tone mapping on images up to 32-bits.

                                        It has it's flaws and there's things that take a bit getting used to. But I recommend it to anyone dealing with digital images...

                                            Thanks Pilou,

                                            I don't use Krita for Digital Painting but image editing, like most users here would use Gimp or Photoshop.

                                            I've been using Gimp for very long but it isn't capable of dealing with HDR images nor EXR. Krita is and that's what made me start with it. However it's the Tonemapping and Transformation layers that make it perfect for photoediting and Sketchup/Thea/Krita is a very very powerful combo for post pro.

                                            Maybe that one is good too, I don't know, but Krita is being underrated because it looks like only a painting software.

                                            Take a look at cage transform here:

                                            Take a deeper look at features here:

                                            Krita is a professional FREE and open source painting program. It is made by artists that want to see affordable art tools for everyone.
