Screencasts: Photoshop Tutorials
I thought I would start making tutorials for making maps in Photoshop.
This first tutorial is how to make platforms, stairs and corner shadows to make those stairs look a bit more realistic.

Every floor texture that you get from Dundjinni.com is going to be seamless. Steel Rat has some too I am sure at rpgmapshare.com
Plus I compiled a list of cool textures here:

Also, do a search in Google for: Seamless Tiles Photoshop
You will find a lot of good stuff up there.

Awesome job!
Love the "The End" at the end lol.
btw, two things I noticed: (Being that I make Web graphics in photoshop I do pick things up here and there =P )
1) When you do the select inverse and erase around the edges, you could have just done a EDIT -> CLEAR (or pressed the DELETE key)
2) when you do the corners and then pant it in, I'm surprised you didn't just bucket fill it. To make bucket fill work properly after using the brush tool, just set the brush tool and the bucket fill to "antialias edges" set to off.
That said, your demo is ubah. Thanks for posting it!!!

Great advice Dracorat! I hope we can all share more secrets from these.
Regarding the bucket fill: Since I went to Photoshop 9 I have had bad luck filling with anti-aliasing. It just doesn't listen and always leaves a thin line around the edge. I never had that problem with previous versions of PS though. So I find it less frustrating by just drawing it in with a brush. If you have any ideas, let me know. I tried anything including the tolerance. *shrug*
