Using channels and layer masks tocreate texture
Corel Painter lets you produce surface texture based on an alpha channel or a layer mask. You can use this
method only if you added an alpha channel, or a layer that contains a layer mask, to the image.
When you apply the texture to a channel, the area that surrounds the edges of the channel appears raised.
When you apply texture to a layer mask, the layer mask acts as a boundary for the texture and the texture
appears around the edges. For more information, see “Creating and deleting layer masks” on page 552.
