Text Effects Part 3 Texture

We are going to be learning how to add Texture to your Text.
 
 Start with selecting the type tool (or use the T key on your keyboard) and Type your text anyway you would like.

 
 Once you complete that step look over to the layers pane and make sure the text layer is selected. At the Bottom of the pane there is a small effects button.
 Select that button and several text effects come up. Click on the one you want to use.
For this tutorial I'm going to show you how to add Texture.
 (to see the others visit my other parts to this series.)

 Click Bevel and Emboss and select Texture below it.
Click on the Pattern box and you will have a choice for the pattern of texture you want to use. Choose the one you want. In the red box I marked, Scale and Depth you can use this to size your desired amount of texture for your text.

If it doesn't show any Patterns to choose from 

Click on the Pattern box again

Click on the arrow on the right and a menu will drop down then select one of the options I highlighted in the red box. This should add more patterns to your collection.
