You can use paper textures in many ways. Brushes interact with paper "grain," just as traditional tools react with the texture of the surfaces beneath them. Working with paper grains is useful when you use the Apply Surface Texture command or other effects, such as Glass Distortion. You can select different paper textures, modify them, organize them in libraries, and even create your own custom textures.
In Corel Painter, brushes that react with paper texture have a "grainy" method. For more information about brush methods, see General controls: Methods and subcategories.
