Respecting the Edge of an
Image
When the Respect Edge of Image
command is enabled, Corel Painter
maintains a grout line at the perimeter
of the image. Tiles you create at the
edge of the image do not violate the
grout line.
Respect Edge of Image ensures the tiles you
create at the edge will not violate the
grout line. In this example, the white tiles
respect the edge, while the black tiles do not.
Stroke Selections and Fill
Selection
The Stroke Selections and Fill
Selection commands are provided for
applying mosaic tiles to selections.
The Mosaic selections features work
only with path-based selections. You
might need to use the Transform
Selection command to convert a
channel-based selection to a path-
based selection. For more information,
refer to “About Selection Types” on
page 204.
Stroking and filling a selection makes
sense only when you change a
parameter between operations; for
example, if you change the tile color or
dimensions. If you are planning to use
the stroke and fill features, remember
to apply the stroke before you apply
the fill.
To create a mosaic in a selection:
1 Set up the area you want to tile as
an active selection.
2 Choose Canvas menu > Make
Mosaic.
3 In the Make Mosaic dialog box,
choose Dimensions or
Randomness from the Settings
pop-up menu.
4 Choose the color for the tile and
the grout.
5 Use the Options pop-up menu to
select the command you want:
• Stroke Selections creates one
row of tiles along each selection
path.
• Fill Selection applies multiple
rows of tiles, working in from
the path until the selected area
is filled with tiles.
6 Click Done to exit the Make
Mosaic dialog box.
Notes:
•
In some cases, Corel Painter might not
put a tile in every space. You can fill
openings by choosing the Apply Tiles tool
and putting them in yourself.
•
If you don’t like the way Corel Painter
filled an area, you can use the Remove
Tiles tool to clear it. Then you can re-
apply tiles by hand.
