Using lighting and surface texture effects 615
• Exposure — controls the image’s brightness, as in photography. Moving the
slider to the left decreases exposure and darkens the image; moving it to the right
increases exposure and lightens the image.
• Ambient — controls the surrounding light in an image. If you have no light
indicators in the preview window, the ambient lighting controls the overall
lightness of the image. Moving the slider to the left darkens the overall lighting;
moving it to the right increases the light.
Using paper to create texture
You can add texture to an image by incorporating paper texture. This allows you to give
the appearance of depth to brushstrokes. Corel Painter uses the paper surface and grain
to produce the effect. You can choose a specific paper texture, or Corel Painter applies
the currently selected paper texture to the image by default.
If you want open to experiment with the effect, keep the Papers panel open while you
apply the effect. This way you can switch to different papers and modify the paper
controls.
