Click the brush preset and find the Fuzy Cluster Loose, select that brush preset. Click the Brush options to start editing the settings. Select the Brush Tip Shape. Enter 45px for the Diameter, Note that in our case 45px works fine but this number depends on the size of the image so experiment until you find the right size for your images.

Select the Dual Brush. Choose the 192 preset. Now start modyfing the Diameter, Spacing, Scatter, and Count, in our case the seting we entered above worked fine. Note that if you are using a Wacom Tablet than you need to activate in the Shape Dynamics the Pen Pressure option, also this is useful for the light to taper in and out when we apply the stroke.

This will create the main denim texture. Go to Filter > Filter Gallery > Texture > Grain. This will add subtle noise to the denim texture making it look more realistic.
