Scattered Tiles options

Scatter

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.
When you apply the Scattered Tiles effect to an image, ACDSee places the
tiles randomly. This 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.
Applying a Sepia effect
You can use the Sepia effect to give your images an antique look. (The Old effect is similar to
the Sepia effect, but produces a more realistic appearance of age.)
To add a sepia tone to an image:
On the Edit Panel, click Effects, and then double-click Sepia.
Applying a Sheet Metal effect
You can use the Sheet Metal effect to turn your images into sheet metal impressions. You can
save your options as a preset for future use.
