Q: Are textures just images? What makes your texture images special?
A: Yes, textures are just images. You don't need to know any other programs like Adobe Illustrator or Indesign, nor do you need to know any sort of web-based stuff like flash. Just photoshop.
But, I believe my textures are notch above what most other photographers can capture. Why? The images in my online portfolio are 17 megapixel JPG files (quality 10-11) created from my 12 megapixel D300, shot in un-compressed 14-bit RAW, and processed perfectly in Bridge CS3 to be as high-quality as possible.
Also, I shoot most all of my textures with the Sigma 150mm macro lens, which is rated as one of the sharpest lenses ever made. Just compare it's lab test to Canon's closest lens, the 180mm L macro... (I told you it was sharp!) I do shoot some textures that require a wider angle with my Nikon 17-55 f/2.8 at 55mm, which also delivers the highest quality...
For EVERY image, I use my sturdy tripod and a cable release plus mirror lockup. With my roots squarely in nature and macro photography, I'm pretty obsessive about image quality! ;-)
