This tutorial introduces how to make bamboo mats. Idea: First use some filter effects to create the texture of the bamboo mat, then copy a small part, and use layer transformation and modification to create the effect of the bamboo mat. Start with black and white, then define the repeating part as a pattern, then fill it with color.
