Texturize

The Texturize effect gives a layer the appearance of having the texture of another layer. For example, you could make the image of a tree appear as if it had the texture of bricks, and control the depth of the texture and the apparent light source. At Best quality, the texture layer is positioned and scaled with subpixel accuracy.

Adjust the following controls for the Texturize effect:

Texture Layer

Specifies the layer you want to use as the texture.

Light Direction

Specifies the angle at which light hits the texture. This setting affects where shadows appear.

Texture Contrast

Specifies how distinct the texture appears on the effect layer.

Texture Placement

Specifies how the effect is applied. Tile Texture applies the texture repeatedly over the layer. Center Texture positions the texture in the middle of the layer. Stretch Texture to Fit stretches the texture to the dimensions of the selected layer.
