step 6

Displacement settings I used were :
Horizontal: 10
Vertical: -10
You may play with these to see what you like.

Things look best when Stretch Image and Repeat Edge Pixels are selected.

step 7

Now we find the displacement file we created earlier. So, go find it. Hit open. You should notice some distortion, lined up with the curves and cracks of your surface.

If you didn't get enough distortion in your image, try opening the displacement image and adjusting the contrast up, so the shadows get darker.

step 8

Erase any extra parts of the image.

step 9

We should add a little noise, just for some texture.

There are other ways to add texture, and you may need more or less texture depending on your surface.

My surface was pretty smooth so chose Filter, Noise, Add Noise and adjusted it to my satisfaction.

step 10

Adjust your noise levels to whatever looks authentic to you. Your image may not even need a texture added.

i didn't know the thing with the contrast..so that was helpfull. but if you could have explained the difference between warp around and edge pixels, and when each one works, or why did you choose -10 on vertical, and what do those values actually do.. it would have been great.

Try that:

Select the wall>CTRL + J> drag the external source>clipping mask>ajust the size with transform> decrease the opacity------ > if necessary some blending mode.... FINAL

Wrap around means that the edge of the image (if any hangs over after displacement) will wrap around to the opposite side. As far as 10 and -10, I just played around until I found something I liked. You may need to use different settings for different photos.
