Applying bitmap pattern transparency

You can use bitmap patterns to create a transparency. You can choose bitmap patterns from a personal library or from the Content Exchange. For more information, see Managing fills and transparencies.

You can modify bitmap patterns to suit your needs. For example, you can skew, rotate, or mirror the bitmap pattern.

Bitmap patterns created in Patterns, an iOS application that turns photos into bitmap patterns, can be opened in Corel PHOTO-PAINT. The bitmap pattern effects available in both Patterns and Corel PHOTO-PAINT let you create seamless patterns and adjust the pattern parameters, such as the pixel configuration along the edge of the tile and the brightness, luminance, and color contrast of the pattern.

You can also create a bitmap pattern from an imported image.

After you create or edit a bitmap pattern transparency, you can save it for future use or share it with other users on the Content Exchange. For more information, see Saving and sharing fills and transparencies.
