It's a nice tutorial, but useful only for those who take their own pictures. Unfortunately, we (map makers) usually take advantage of ready pictures downloaded from internet.
The main problem I can see is that a photograph will require loads of post processing to make it into a tileable texture. Since the normal map needs to be aligned perfectly with the diffuse map, it would be necessary to perform
exactly the same series of operations on the normal map as the diffuse when post-processing.
I don't know if image processors like the GIMP and Photoshop allow you to edit two layers simultaneously - if they do, then this ceases to be a problem.
