Texture filters and effectsThe commands in the Texture submenu in the Filter or Effect menu give an image the appearance of depth or substance, or add an organic look. These filters and effects aren't available for documents in CMYK color mode. Note: The Texture effects are raster-based and use the document's raster effects settings whenever you apply the effect to a vector graphic. (See Specifying raster effects settings.)
Craquelure Paints an image onto a high-relief plaster surface, producing a fine network of cracks that follow the contours of the image. Use this filter to create an embossing effect with images that contain a broad range of color or grayscale values. Grain Adds texture to an image by simulating different kinds of grain--regular, soft, sprinkles, clumped, contrasty, enlarged, stippled, horizontal, vertical, or speckle. For more information on using this command's texturizing options, see Using texture and glass surface controls. Mosaic Tiles Draws the image as if it were made up of small chips or tiles and adds grout between the tiles. (In contrast, the Pixelate > Mosaic command breaks up an image into blocks of different-colored pixels.) Patchwork Breaks up an image into squares filled with the predominant color in that area of the image. The filter randomly reduces or increases the tile depth to replicate highlights and shadows. Stained Glass Repaints an image as single-colored adjacent cells outlined in the foreground color. Texturizer Applies a texture you select or create to an image. |
