Merci

nice tutorial acid...but little difficult to understand ..would giv it a try..

Yeah!!!

Nice tut, i like it.
Thanks  

Wow such a Simple, easy tutorial. Thank you very much Acid,

It's a great work though it had some difficulties to understand the process because It was not a complete English
translation.

I think perhaps it'll be better if I explain in Simple English what Acid Was telling you for the readers
who only deals with English. But remember All the credits to Acid,

So It's like this,(I was unable to locate the exat texture in Photoshop CS2 I hope Acid will explain this
but I can give you the rest of the instruction of thie process imagining you've found the exat texture.)

Open one of your favourite images in Photoshop (bmp, Jpeg, .gif) and from the tool bar select a background color
(here, Acid has selected blue (R-60, G-1, B-255) (#083dff)

Right click on the background layer and select 'Duplicate'

Select the Duplicated layer (background copy) and navigate to Filter>Filter Gallery. There, Under 'Brush Strokes' gallery, select
Sumi-e then hit OK.

you'll have this now

Double click on the duplicated layer or right click on it and select 'Blending Options'

On the blending option Window check on 'Bevel and Emboss' & keep its default settings.

Go to Texture, check it as on and Change the following parameters.
Scale- (180%)
Depth- (-34%)

&Make sure to check on 'Invert' & 'Link with layer'boxes.

And select the Texture under above parameters and hit Ok.

Select duplicated layer (background copy) and click, Ctrl+Shift+E to merge the visible layers.

Select the Magic Wand tool (press W) and click on an area covered with a single block to create a selection (like in the picture)

Extra:*
If this is not possible to do,(If you are unable to select the whole area surrounded by the block)
Ctrl+Shift+N to create a new layer (layer 01) and fill it with White (RGB-255) (#ffffff)

Unhide the hidden layer (probably Background copy) and select it. Make sure the selection still remains in the window.

Select Move tool (press V) and move the selection a bit and rotate it up to 30 degrees clockwise (CW)

That's it! You've completed the tutorial and Now you can save your design.

Note:* This is what I've done with the tutorial but using a different texture pattern. But it worked well according to Acid's instructions.

Good tuto, well explained
But the final effect isn't really like a puzzle

Thanks K-net

Yes, actually I've mentioned that above. I was ubable to find the exat pattern of texture in Photoshop CS2 (I've searched everywhere)
If someone could give me an info regarding that I'll be able to complete the tuto more successfully

If anyone is still wondering about the puzzle texture, Here is how to load it
Click Filter-Texture-Texturizer
Once it Loads on the right- hand side click the arrow for the file dialog box. The Puzzle Texture is located in the Application Path/Adobe/Adobe Cs/Presets/Texture
Just select the puzzle.psd to load it  

Where you get that Texture!

thank you for this tuto
but wer can i find this patern
10x

Hi back!
omg, this have more than a years! i got some luck to remember my password ^^
anyway, if someone is still wondering where i got the textures, it was include with photoshop. go take a look in your presets/texture folder, its called "puzzles"

Welcome back acid. If you'd like to edit your tutorial, I'd be happy. There's some sms-language in there, and some pictures would come in handy, as said before. I'm not sure what the rules are for a tutorial to stay in this section, I'll have to talk with an Didas about this subject once.

I am so sorry, my pictures got lost with the time. there was picture, but they are gone
I fixed most of the spelling error/sms i have seen. I am sorry about this, I am french
Try to take a look at the one in the french section, my pictures are "mybe" still there.

Quick Edit:
Here are some of the step, thanks to Neil!

And finnaly, here is the famous Puzzle !
