1. Open any illustration/photo into Photoshop and make sure it is in RGB format.
2. Duplicate this image by pulling down the Image menu, selecting Calculate, then Duplicate.
 
3. Pull down the Filter Menu and select Distort, then Displace. The Displace window will pop up.
 
4. In the Displacement window enter any coordinates you’d like. Make sure the settings are equal (i.e. 2:2, 1:1, etc.). Choose Tile or Stretch to Fit. Then Choose Wrap Around. Then click OK. You’ll need to experiment with this a while to get the desired effect.
5. An "Open" window will pop up and here you will choose which displacement map (“D.Map”) you want to use. It will be in the Plug-Ins folder inside Adobe Photoshop. After you’ve selected your map - return to your illustration.
6. Pull down the File menu and select Open. Open the highlights and shadows map (or D.Map) that you wish to use.
7. Pull down the Window menu and select Channels. This will bring up your map’s Channels window. It should have 2,3, or maybe 4 channels depending on the map. Please note: the picture below shows windows for both your D.Map and your RGB Image.
 
8. Make sure “highlights” is selected on the Channels window. Now pull down the Select menu and Select All.
9. Pull down the Edit menu and select Define Pattern. Your map has now become a pattern to use on your illustration/image.
10. Go back to your already displaced RGB image and inside the Channels window press on the arrow in the top right corner and choose New Channel. Name it anything you want (#4 is suitable) and click OK. (To change the name of one of your channels, at any time, just double click on that channel in the Channels window.) Your picture should turn completely white...don’t worry though.
11. Now Select All again and pull down the Edit menu and select Fill.
Fill with the Pattern (not the background or foreground colors).
 
Click OK. The highlight should appear on your screen (but not your image .. yet).
12. Select RGB on the Channels window to change from #4 to your image. Then, under Select, choose Load Selection. You should see several things selected on your image - these are your highlights.
13. Pull down the Image menu, with your highlights still selected, select Adjust then Levels. This will bring up the Levels window.
 
Since this is a highlight pull the arrow (the middle one) towards the left (you may have to experience with this one as well). You should see your highlights turn white. Choose OK when you finish.
14. Now go back to your Highlights and Shadows Map and select a new channel (we’ve already done highlights so choose Shadow or Surface if Shadow is not one of the channels). Repeat the process in steps 9 - 12 (except under Load Selection - select your new channel).
15. Under Image again, with your shadows still selected, select Adjust, then Levels. This time place the bar close to the right. This will turn your shadows dark. Click OK when satisfied.
16. If there is a another channel in you Highlights/Shadows map then repeat steps 9-12 again. And by step 13 you should know what to do.
17. Your done - doesn’t your picture look great?
