Mosaics and tessellations 707
After you apply tiles to a mosaic, you can select, deselect, or remove tiles to change their
color or apply effects to them. For information, see “Selecting and removing tiles” on
page 709 and “Specifying tile and grout color” on page 711.
When creating mosaics, you can follow these helpful guidelines:
• Use your first few courses of mosaic tiles to delineate the most important contours
of your subject — just as if you were drawing with a pencil. Describe the most
important lines of your scene first. Additional courses of tiles should follow the
initial contours.
Tiles applied to the outline of an image.
• Use larger tiles in areas of flat color and smaller tiles in regions where you must add
more detail. In flat-color areas, you may want to introduce some color variability
for a more realistic effect. Tiles used in traditional mosaics rarely have uniform
color.
• Each mosaic tile is stored as a resolution-independent object within the
Corel Painter image database. This means that if you resize an image composed of
mosaic tiles, your image can be displayed at the same quality as if it had been
created at a higher resolution originally.
• If you’re working with a clone, tracing paper is enabled by default to help you
follow the source image.
