Not all of these filters load images or textures in the
same way. (See "Using the Lighting Effects filter"
on page 207.)
To load images and textures:
1 Use the Filters palette to apply the desired filter,
or choose the filter from the appropriate submenu
in the Filter menu.
2 Choose Load Texture in the Texture pop-up
menu. Locate and open a texture image.
All textures must be in the Photoshop format.
Most filters use only the grayscale information of
a color file.
Click OK.

Defining undistorted areas
The Displace, Shear, and Wave filters in the Distort
submenu and the Offset filter in the Other
submenu let you treat areas undefined by the filter
in the following ways:
Wrap Around fills the undefined space with
•
content from the opposite edge of the image.
Repeat Edge Pixels extends the colors of pixels
•
along the image's edge in the direction specified.
Banding may result if the edge pixels are
different colors.
• Set to Background (Offset filter only) fills the
selected area with the current background color.
