In this tutorial, we'll be creating a texture that looks like a mud wall.

Create The Base For The Wet Mud Texture

Start a new document anysize you want (im using 500x200) and fill the background with black. Press "D" to reset your foreground and background colors to black and white
Now go to Filter » Render » Difference Clouds. Press CTRL+F 3 times to reapply.

How To Create The Cracked Mud Texture

Go to Filter » Stylize » Wind. and use Method: Wind. Direction: From the Right. This will add some streaks from right to left. We will use these streaks to build up the cracks in the mud texture.

Then Filter » Stylize » Wind. Method: Wind. Direction: From the Left. This will extend the streaks from horizontally to increase the cracks effect on the mud texture.

We will just repeat the same steps for creating the mud texture cracks, but this time on the vertical. The most convenient way is to simply rotate the whole texture and redo the same steps as above.

Go to Image » Rotate Canvas » 90CCW. Then Filter » Stylize » Wind. Method: Wind. Direction: From the Left

Then Filter » Stylize » Wind. Method: Wind. Direction: From the Right
