Enhancing Normal maps generated from Images (https://www.katsbits.com/tutorials/textures/enhancing-normal-maps.php)

Normal maps generated from images or photos tend to be a bit lackluster due to the way the image conversion process works (https://www.katsbits.com/tutorials/textures/how-not-to-make-normal-maps-from-photos-or-images.php), especially for surfaces like rock and other organic forms. This doesn't need to be the case however, using an image-editor Normal maps can be enhanced through simple layers, blurring and blending (https://www.katsbits.com/tutorials/textures/enhancing-normal-maps.php).
