Creating Paper Textures
The Make Paper command lets you make your own paper textures. The Capture Paper
command lets you turn a section of an image into a paper texture. Once you save
textures, they are available from the Papers palette.
To create a paper texture
1 Choose Window menu > Library Palettes > Show Papers.
2 On the Papers palette, click the palette menu arrow, and choose Make Paper.
3 In the Make Paper dialog box, choose a pattern from the Pattern pop-up menu to
use as the basis of your paper texture.
4 Adjust the Spacing slider.
Moving the Spacing slider to the right opens up space between rows and columns
in the selected pattern.
5 Adjust the Angle slider.
Moving the Angle slider changes the direction in which the pattern’s rows are lined
up.
6 When you like the look of the texture, enter a name, and click OK.
Your new texture appears as the last item in the Paper Selector.
You can also use the Paper Selector in the toolbox to create paper. Click the
Paper Selector, click the selector menu arrow, and choose Make Paper.
The Make Paper dialog box allows you to create your own
textures based on patterns in the Pattern pop-up menu.
To capture paper texture
1 Open or create an image.
2 Select all or a piece of your source image.
