Corel Painter Help | Apply Surface Texture controls

Apply Surface Texture controls

•

Using — lets you choose a method for applying the surface texture. The following methods are available: Paper, 3D Brushstrokes, Image Luminance, and Original Luminance.

•

Softness — lets you adjust the amount of distortion created by the texture. Increasing softness creates more intermediate steps, which produces a smoother distortion.

•

Inverted — lets you apply an inverted texture

Appearance of Depth

•

Amount — controls how much surface texture is applied to the image. Moving the slider all the way to the right applies the maximum amount.

•

Picture — controls how much of the color from the original image is applied to the texture. At 100%, the full color of the picture shines through. Moving the slider to the left displays more black, leaving only the shine.

•

Shine — controls how much highlight appears on the surface of the texture. Higher Shine values make the texture look metallic.

•

Reflection — maps a clone source image or pattern onto the texture at a variable percentage

Light Controls

•

Brightness — controls the light intensity

•

Concentration — adjusts the spread of the light’s shine over the surface

•

Exposure — adjusts the overall lighting amount from darkest to brightest

•

Light Color — lets you change the light color

•

Simple lighting — lets you choose one from eight preset lights

•

Lighting sphere — lets you add, move, and delete custom lights when the Simple lighting check box is disabled.
