Modern Leather Tutorial pshop

This is my first tutorial which i felt compelled to write.
I have noticed alot of nice leather wallpapers hanging around here on deviant art and i really love the way they look. Understandably alot of people on the internet dont want to share their killer photoshop secrets and because of that i couldn't find a good tutorial anywhere on how to get that leather look i was so fond of.

So i launched Photoshop and made my own wallpaper, here is the tutorial i wrote to share the technique to all you Photoshoppers out there.

Its alot easier than you would think and while i know alot of you already know how its done, i'm also sure that there are plenty of people who dont.

So here it is...just click the download button to get the zip folder with the tutorial inside and ive even added a psd so you can see exactly whats going on.
