Editing source textures

My 3D Spin

I have been trying to edit source textures in Photoshop by opening them up in the surface tab
diffuse coolor - and when i add spots or freckles to a texture they sometime come out fine but
on some they are barely visable.Why is that?

The diffuse colour is not the only factor involved - many other properties contribute to the final appearance, certainly on Iray and recent 3Delight materials, and those can wash out smaller diffuse details. The lighting is also a factor.

I solved it by also making the changes to both base color and the transluscanse color textures!
