Using channels and layer masks to create texture

Corel Painter lets you produce surface texture based on an alpha channel or a layer

mask. You can use this method only if you added an alpha channel, or a layer that

contains a layer mask, to the image.

When you apply the texture to a channel, the area that surrounds the edges of the

channel appears raised. When you apply texture to a layer mask, the layer mask acts as

a boundary for the texture and the texture appears around the edges. For more

information, see “Creating and deleting layer masks” on page 518.

To create surface texture based on a channel or layer mask

1 In the Layers panel, select a layer or the canvas.

If you want to use a layer mask, you must select the layer to which the layer mask

is attached. Make sure that the layer mask is not blank.

2 Choose Effects  Surface Control  Apply Surface Texture.

3 Choose the channel or layer mask from the Using list box.

If you want to apply an inverted texture, enable the Inverted check box.

4 Adjust the Softness slider to control the amount of distortion created by the

texture.
