panel), which allows you to add depth to the tiles by using surface texture to create a
3D appearance.
You can render tiles to a mask to create a look of 3D tiles.
With the tiles in a channel, you can also load the mosaic pattern as a selection or you
can invert the channel to use the grout as a selection. The result can be particularly
interesting when you work with a tessellated mosaic.
To give mosaic tiles a 3D look
1 Choose Effects Esoterica Make Mosaic.
2 Drag in the document window to apply tiles.
When the mosaic is complete, you can proceed to step 3.
3 Choose Render Tiles into Mask from the Options list box.
4 Click Done.
5 Choose Effects Surface Control Apply Surface Texture.
6 In the Apply Surface Texture dialog box, choose Mosaic Mask from the Using
list box.
7 Adjust the Amount or Softness sliders to achieve the level of relief that you want.
In most cases, the best results are obtained with the Picture slider set at 100%. For
more information, see “Using 3D brushstrokes to create texture” on page 616.
Because Corel Painter uses the tile shapes from the channel, the resulting surface
texture gives the tiles a realistic 3D appearance.
