Normally, each tile is given a single color. If you want more options for coloring tiles,
render the tiles to a channel. You can then convert the channel to a selection to paint
directly on the tiles, apply effects, or fill them with a pattern, weave, gradient, or
image. Refer to “Giving Tiles a 3D Look” on page 319 for more information.
