Need texture help!

#1

I´ve been working with 3D software for 7 years now. I think I reached valid modeling, animation and lighting skills, but, I suck big time when it comes to texturing. Can you recommend me some usefull softwares with wich I can start catching up? Or give me some tips?
I use Photoshop, but I don´t quite get photorealistic textures. Maybe I´m doing something wrong when aplying them or maybe when creating the texture itself. Mostly, I use textures for cinema 4D or Maya, but it always end looking like pencil drawn. Please help.
