Before (left) and after (right) applying a typical reflection map.
You can control how much of the image appears in the texture. If you add a reflection map to a clone, the
clone source is mapped onto the texture. Otherwise, Corel Painter uses the current pattern as the reflection
map.
You can use the Image Warp effect to approximate the reflection from a curved surface. For more
information, see “Applying a warp effect” on page 668.
To create a reflection map from a clone source

A new layer is created.

Using a layer mask simplifies the process because the layer mask exactly matches the shape of the
reflection area. For more information, see “Creating and deleting layer masks” on page 552.
