Importing Images for Color Shaders

Color shaders can use images for image color and as a filtered image. The image color shader can display the image as-is, or can tint the image with a specified color.

The process of selecting a color image shader is illustrated by the following flow chart.

To import a color image shader:

1. Select and import the image as described in Selecting the Image for Import.

The Edit Image Color dialog box opens. Specify the image-based shader properties.

►    Click to show/hide the parameters.

Parameter	Description
Image preview	Edits to the image are displayed in the image preview
Tile Image	Repeats the image in the horizontal, vertical, or horizontal and vertical directions; deselect for no tiling

No filter	Does not change the image with a filter color
Use Object Fill	Filters the color of the image by the fill color selected for the object (can be different for each object that is textured by this texture)

Flip H/V	Flips the image horizontally or vertically
