Express Texture controls
• Gray Threshold — determines where the threshold is, between pure black and pure white
• Grain — determines how deeply the texture penetrates the surface
• Contrast — determines the number of levels of black and white. For example, low contrast generates
pure gray, medium contrast produces levels of grayscale, and high contrast produces a black and white
screen.
Applying a warp effect
Corel Painter offers different options for warping images. The Image Warp effect lets you distort the
surface of an image as if it were a sheet of pliable film. You can make images look as though they’re
reflected in a fun house mirror.

You can also use the Quick Warp effect to create some basic distortions, like stretch or bulge. These
distortions are useful for preparing images for reflection maps when applying surface texture. For more
information, see “Creating reflection maps” on page 655.
Quick Warp lets you create five types of distortions:
• Sphere — warps the image spherically, like a reflection on a polished silver ball
