Of interest to Adobe Photoshop users is this application (Beta)... here's the skinny - Filter Forge can produce a wide range of textures and effects which include organic structures, metallic and rocky surfaces, distortions, abstract textures, repeating patterns, color corrections, and more.

All filters are adjustable and editable, seamlessly tiled, resolution-independent, and support real-world HDRI lighting. Also, filters can automatically generate diffuse, specular, bump, and normal maps, which makes Filter Forge an essential tool for artists creating 3D models and environments, architectural visualization and high-end game content. Examples of filters can be seen at http://www.filterforge.com. A very cool feature of the app is the Filter Library, a free online repository of user-created filters to which anyone can contribute. The Library already contains over 50 filters and 100 more commercial filters should be available soon.
