Working with paper texture and grain 139
Controlling brightness and contrast of paper grain
Brightness can be thought of as controlling the depth of the paper grain. The effect of
lowering the paper’s brightness is similar to that of using a more shallow grain.
Contrast can be thought of as controlling the steepness of the paper grain. The grain in
higher-contrast paper changes from high to low more quickly and with fewer
intermediate levels than the grain in lower-contrast paper.
To change paper grain brightness
1 Choose Window Paper Panels Papers.
2 Click the Paper Textures library button .
3 Click a paper texture swatch from the Paper Textures library panel.
4 In the Papers panel, adjust the Paper Brightness slider .
To change paper grain contrast

Adjusting grain direction and behavior
When you use a brush that interacts with paper grain, the results appear with each
stroke. If you have a stylus and tablet, you can adjust paper grain by changing the
stroke of the stylus on a pressure-sensitive tablet. In most cases, a light stroke colors
only the peaks and ridges of the grain. A heavy stroke fills color deep into the pockets
and valleys. You can also affect the brush interaction with paper grain by changing the
brush grain settings.
If you want a uniform paper grain across an image, create your artwork first, and then
apply the grain as a surface texture. If you apply paper texture before you create an
image, the texture is erasable, and you cannot erase the paper texture without erasing
brushstrokes at the same time. For this reason, it is usually best to add paper texture as
a last step in developing your image.
