Specifying Tile Color
There are several ways to change tile color. You can adjust the value, change the hue,
or randomize variability. You can adjust the color for individual tiles or for larger areas
across the mosaic.
The tile color is determined by the main color selected on the Colors palette. You
might want to add some color variability to build visual interest. When working in a
clone document, you can color the tiles based on the clone source.
To Do the following
Select tiles In the Make Mosaic dialog box, click the
Select Tiles button . Drag across the tiles
you want to select. Red borders appear on
selected tiles.
Select contiguous tiles of the same color (no
variability allowed)
In the Make Mosaic dialog box, click the
Select Tiles button. Press Command +
Control (Mac OS), or Ctrl (Windows), and
drag across part of a line of tiles, so that the
whole line of tiles is selected. A magic wand
appears as you select the tiles.
Select every tile With the Make Mosaic dialog box displayed,
press the A key.
To Do the following
Deselect an individual tile In the Make Mosaic dialog box, click the
Select Tiles button. Click on a tile that is
already selected to deselect it.
Deselect all tiles With the Make Mosaic dialog box displayed,
press the D key.
