Kevin Wampler who just provided an example below does not work at ILM, 
nor do I.  It's not the case of being a notable expert, just following 
the steps for a technique.  Careful selection of borders you want is 
simple enough since the selection tool allows to do it point by point.

The point is:  instead of calling it impossible just to look like a 
dumbass, try to use the software for a while to get the hang of it.

the pebbles image was a bad idea, but if details of the texture are 
sufficiently small, like sand or soil, even that button does the job 
just fine.
