Embossing using Photoshop

Some of the print trials I've done so far involve embossing plant material into the paper.  Photoshop has an emboss filter which gives fairly realistic-looking results.  I'll have to post some photos of the real thing for comparison. 

Photoshop has the advantage of course that you can 'emboss' twigs, thistles and waterplants without Derek shouting at you in the print studio.
