Adding Stains to Old Paper Textures

[Abu Lafia]

Hey Josiah, that's a nice mini-tut. The texture you made looks very good and has a nice big size! . For practical use, i often need to lower the opacity of these crumpled papers, since the "crumples" come out pretty strong usually. What are your experiences with them? Maybe they just need a little more ironing

Thanks Abu!
I actually haven't used crumpled paper textures a lot, and now testing with this one I think you're right so I would probably blend it with another flatter texture. If I make another old paper texture with tea I'll make it less crumpled.
The original texture was much brighter so in photoshop I darkened it a bit and put it under some of my other maps to test it and it looked quite nice.
