Blobs
Blobs creates a pattern similar to oil
floating on water. The effect takes a
source and puts it in a swirling pattern
by placing blobs on the image. The
underlying image is distorted as if it
were liquid.
You can use one of three sources to fill
in the blobs:
• Paste Buffer uses the current
contents of the Clipboard to fill in
the blobs. You can produce blobs
that look like bubbles by creating a
circular selection that’s shaded like
a sphere, and copying it to the
Clipboard.

• Current Color uses the color
selected on the Colors palette to fill
the blobs.
A Blob effect created using Current Color.
• Pattern uses the current pattern on
the Patterns palette to fill in blobs.
Blobs create a nice basis for the
Marbling effect because they create
interesting color patterns. You may
want to apply this effect to your
original image before applying
Marbling. For more information
about marbling, refer to “Marbling”
on page 299.
Your computer must have a math
coprocessor to use the Blobs effect.
To apply a blob effect:
1 Do one of the following:
• To use the Clipboard contents
to fill the blobs, make a selec-
tion and press Command+C
(Mac OS) or Ctrl+C (Win-
dows) to copy the selection to
the Clipboard.
• To use the current color to fill
the blobs, choose a color on the
Colors palette.
• To use a pattern to fill the
blobs, choose a pattern on the
Patterns palette.
2 Open or select the image where
you want to create the blobs.
