Experiment with Your New Paper Texture

The last step is to open the Papers Palette and from the fly-out arrow choose, Papers > Launch Palette. Paper texture can be visualized as a three-dimensional landscape. Ordinarily, brushes react to paper texture by coloring the peaks and ignoring the valleys. You can enable the Invert Paper option to make color fill the valleys instead of the peaks. You can also adjust the paper texture scale to resize the paper texture. Scaling the paper grain affects how the grain appears in brush strokes and images. As a final approach, experiment with the Invert Paper Texture option. Have fun with this! Remember once the paper is created, you can then apply it on top of an existing image or art work.
