Using focus and esoterica effects 591
Before (left) and after (right) applying the Marbling effect.
Each time you drag a rake across an image, you create a step. You can create marbling
“recipes” that include several steps — each one using a different rake, direction, and
waviness. You can save marbling recipes and reuse them.
Marbling works best with patterns or textures. Using the Blobs effect is an excellent
way of creating the raw materials for marbling; filling with a pattern is another. For
more information, see “Applying Blobs” on page 596.
To create a marbling recipe
1 To apply the effect to:
• The canvas — Click the Canvas in the Layers panel.
• A selection — Click a selection tool from the toolbox, and drag in the document
window to select an area.
• A layer — Click a layer in the Layers panel.
2 Choose Effects Esoterica Apply Marbling.
3 In the Direction area, enable an option for the rake stroke.
4 Adjust any of the following sliders:
• Spacing — adjusts the distance between rake teeth, which controls the number
of teeth in the rake. When the slider is all the way to the right, the rake has one
tooth.
• Offset — moves the rake in a perpendicular direction to the path direction,
which adjusts the position of the rake lines
• Wavine ss — changes the amplitude (height) of the waves. When this slider is set
to zero, the path is straight.
• Wavele ngth — determines the distance between wave peaks
