Use the Texture Channel in the Lighting Effects
The Texture Channel in the Lighting Effects dialog box lets you control lighting effects using grayscale images (called
bump maps
) that you add to your image as alpha channels. You can add any grayscale image to your image as an alpha
channel, or create a new alpha channel and add texture to it. For an embossed text effect, use a channel with white
text on a black background, or vice versa.
1
If necessary, add an alpha channel to your image. Do one of the following:
•
To use a texture based on another image (for example, fabric or water), convert that image to grayscale, then drag
the grayscale channel from that image into the current image.
•
Drag an existing alpha channel from another image into the current image.
•
Create an alpha channel in your image, then add texture to it.
2
In the Lighting Effects dialog box, choose a channel from the Texture Channel menu: either an alpha channel
you’ve added or the image’s Red, Green, or Blue channel.
3
Select White Is High to raise the white parts of the channel from the surface. Deselect this option to raise the dark
parts.
4
Drag the Height slider to vary the texture from Flat (0) to Mountainous (100).
