Stupid Question

Hi!
I'm from Germany so excuse my poor English *rolleyes* It' been a few years ago i learnd it in school.

How can i make those great looking High Res. Textures from the original Doom textures??? I'v tried it with Adobe Photoshop but everytime i do, the texture is too blur or too sharpen. I hope you know what i mean :)
Maybe you can tell me other Programs wich i could use.
Help an old Doom fanatic since 1993, please!!!

hey:

most of the textures that you see have been re-created from scratch. im sure a few of them have been photoshopped (someone who knows more about it can pipe in) but the most outstanding textures are simply versions that someone made from scratch to look like the low-res version.

Yeah, you really dont want to get on the train of thought that using some filters will make a good texture. Its the filtered textures that give the doom2 texture pack such a bad name (just try talking about it on Doomworld to see what I mean...)

The best way to make a texture will always be to paint it from scratch - if you havent got the right tools (pen tablet for eg), you can always start on paper with good old fashioned pencils, then scan it and tweak it in photoshop...
