Quick Linen Background Tutorial

Im this tutorial, I'll be showing you how you can create a clean linen background for your Photoshop projects with a few simple steps.

1. First, you want to create a PS document about 15 pixels larger than the display you are intending to use this background on. We will be cropping later.

2. Once you have your document, use the keystroke COMMAND/CONTROL + U to bring up the hue and saturation menu. Reduce the lightness bar to get the shade of grey you want.

3. Now, head into Filters ---> Sketch ---> Water Paper and use the settings I have.

4. At this point, you'll notice that the edges are not uniform to the rest of the image. Reduce your canvas  size by heading under Image ---> canvas size and reduce the size to the resolution of your display. This should fix the problem.

5. Final result.
