: How can I make a photoshop pattern similar to the Paper Texture of macOS Notes? This is an example of the texture used macOS Notes App. How can I achieve a similar paper-ish look in Photoshop

This actually looks more like concrete if you ask me... Here is your image after messing with the levels a bit:



Almost looks like it has some text on it?

So anyway, just search for "concrete texture" (or whatever you wish to replicate - if you think it looks like paper search for paper)...

I found this image for example on Wikimedia Commons:



After downloading it, I then placed it on top of your image (just to match your tile dimensions) and scaled it until I thought the texture looked fairly close to yours:



Then you have to go through the process of making the texture tile seamless. There is good starter information on that here...

Once you have your texture seamless, add a Levels adjustment to it. I used settings like this:



To come up with this:



This was just 'quick and dirty' to give you an idea how something like this might be made... This example could really use some more work on the 'seamless' aspect but I'm short on time these days. This should be enough to get you started anyhow.
