So, I know we have more than a few carbon fiber fans here. Well, here's an easy way to get some carbon fiber in your latest Photoshop creation.
Start by creating a new image 12 pixels wide, 6 pixels high, with a transparent background.

Next, use the rectangle marquee tool and select the upper left corner. Then fill the selection with a Black --> Gray gradient from top left to bottom right.
