Examples of effects created with Apply Surface Texture.
Setting Appearance of Depth Properties
The surface texture you apply is made up of a material. That material can be subtle
and blend with the original image, or it can be highly reflective or shiny, distorting the
original image.
The Appearance of Depth sliders on the Apply Surface Texture dialog box let you
control material properties.
• The Amount slider controls how much surface texture is applied to the image.
Moving the slider all the way to the right applies the maximum amount.
• The Picture slider controls how much of the color from the original image is
applied to the texture. At 100%, the full color of the picture shines through.
Moving the slider to the left displays more black, leaving only the shine.
• The Shine slider controls how much highlight appears on the surface of the texture.
Higher Shine values make the texture look metallic.
• The Reflection slider maps a clone source image or pattern onto the texture at a
variable percentage.
