Using focus and esoterica effects 601
• Angle and Scale — adjusts the tile orientation and size of built-in tile shapes
• Blur Radius — sets the sampling radius for blurring the crack or grout color.
Increasing the Blur Radius adds more neighboring colors to the crack pixels in
each pass.
• Blur Passes — sets the number of times the crack pixels are blurred. More passes
mix more tile color into the cracks. Blurring occurs only when Blur Passes is
greater than zero.
• Threshold — draws the line between light and dark. Everything above the
Threshold value becomes tiles, and everything below becomes grout.
• Use Grout — adds grout between the tiles
• Color — sets the grout color
• Thickness — controls the width of the cracks between tiles or the grout lines (if
grout is enabled)
Applying Grid Paper
The Grid Paper effect adds a grid of horizontal lines, vertical lines, rectangles, or dots
to an image.
Unlike the grid overlay, which is a transparent layer that floats as a reference above an
image, Grid Paper becomes part of an image. It is best to apply Grid Paper to a blank
canvas and then apply color to the canvas or layers.
To apply Grid paper
1 Choose Effects Esoterica Grid Paper.
2 Choose an option from the Grid Type list box.
3 Set the grid dimensions by entering values in the following boxes:
• Horizontal Spacing — determines the amount of space between horizontal
lines
• Vertical Spacing — determines the amount of space between vertical lines
• Line Thickness — sets the width of grid lines
4 Click the Grid Color chip, and choose a color from the Color dialog box to set the
grid color.
5 Click the Background chip, and choose a color from the Color dialog box to set
the background color.
