Fill pattern in PL32 |
Fill pattern in PhotoLine 32 can be treated similar
like colors, you can use them for drawing, filling, for text or vector
graphics, ...
You can find the fill pattern in the color list dialog: You can move from the color list to the fill pattern (and back) with the Color and Patterns button. The fields for the pattern are larger then the color fields. The advantage of this is that you can see better the details of the pattern, the disadvantage is that there will not fit very much patterns into the dialog. So we have a slider on the right side to switch to all fill patterns. When you right click on the dialog, you will get a popup. Here you kan load or save the pattern list. You can also merge another list to the actual list and you can copy or delete the pattern under the mouse cursor. You can easilier create fill patterns (look at tip 32). You can drag any image with the layer cursor to the pattern list. When you drop the pattern on a pattern, it will be replaced. If you want to create a new pattern, simply drop the pattern on the slider to the right side. To use the fill pattern, you can drag them, like the colors, to any pattern able colorfield on the PhotoLine 32 screen. When you left click on a pattern list entry, you will set the foreground pattern (Shift pressed will set the background color). You can use the fill pattern to get nice areas not with a simple color but with a texture, like you can see it at tip 26 with the pillars. Since PhotoLine 32 can work with transparent fill pattern, you can get effects like the puzzle in tip 32 or you can create snow or rain on a picture with heaven. |
