The 'another' thing :)

Hmm, if I make a texture myself, what is that called then? I mean, if I shoot a picture with my digiacam, and make a texture from it, then it can be called a photorealistic texture, but what should the one I make with a brush in photoshop be called? Artificial?

I think the convention for non-photo-realistic textures is to simply call them "textures". I don't think it really warrants any extra description, especially if both types are going to be listed on [for example] a website.
