Textures.. I'm in a hole =(

[Robbo566 (A)]

I have completed 2 SX dispmaps now, and I can't do textures. I don't want anyone else to do them, I would rather learn myself.
But how do you make them? I can make kinda dodgy ones in photoshop, but thats about it.
I have terragen, bryce, and stuff, but can't find decent tutorials for anything. Or is there a different program that you should use?

Any help would be very much appreciated!
Ben.

Well u can do alot of things in photoshop with 'Render Clouds' a bit of 'Noise' and a alpha mask Just make a brown cloud and a green cloud and alpha out some of the green and u have dirt and grass...

I make my textures that way, here's a example of an unfinished one:
