Background color Specifies the color of the background. Click the color picker to select a different color.
Random Seed Indicates the random placement of the tiles.

makes the effect different every time you apply the filter. You can define a specific random seed to
generate identical tile patterns.
To generate a new random seed, click Random Seed.
