Mike,
I hadn’t discovered the 1% opacity trick—nice tip. Please share any other discoveries you make!
Any image in a document can be used as a texture. For example:
-
Make a screengrab of part of a picture and paste it into a document.
-
Go to Object>Convert>To Pattern. The screengrab appears in the Patterns palette.
-
Draw a box and click the image well in the Patterns palette; the box is filled with the pattern.
It’s that easy. If you want to keep the texture to use in future projects, drag it into the Library.
I hardly use Photoshop any more. In some respects I prefer it, but Intaglio has most of Photoshop’s functionality and it’s much easier to use.
