Texturing Process

What I done through just playing around with Photoshop is that to create the way I want my texture to look on my modelled object, I can combine images with similar characteristics and edit the Layer mode to give different effects.

I have done this type of experimenting with most of my textures to try and get them looking right because since I am new to this skill, I am trying to discover ways to create look I am going for especially with the time constraint.
I took pictures some time ago in case I wanted to use them as textures and the image of the rock surface was needed so I am glad that it worked.

My own image I took from my front garden

This created the texture I wanted to add in my treehouse as the floor plane.
