When a filter or filter effect takes some time to be applied, you see a progress dialog box
that indicates the time remaining until the filter is applied.
Loading bitmap images and textures
Some commands let you load other bitmap images, such as textures and displacement
maps, to use with a filter or filter effect. These commands include Glass and Rough Pastels.
To load bitmap images and textures:
1 Choose one of the following:
• Filter > Artistic > Rough Pastels.
• Effect > Artistic > Rough Pastels.
• Filter> Distort > Glass.
• Effect > Distort > Glass.
2 Choose Load Texture from the Texture pop-up menu.
3 Open the texture bitmap image.
4 Click OK in the filter or effect dialog box to apply the settings.
Using texture and glass surface controls
Some commands included in Illustrator have texturizing options, such as the Glass, Rough
Pastels, Grain, and Fresco commands. The texturizing options can make a bitmap image
appear as though painted onto various textures, such as canvas and brick, or viewed
through glass blocks.
You can apply these command as a filter or as an effect. For more information on effects,
see “
Using effects” on page 235.
To use texture and glass surface controls:
1 From the Filter or Effect menu, choose Artistic > Rough Pastels; Artistic > Fresco;
Distort > Glass; or Texture > Grain.
2 Choose a texture type from the Texture pop-up menu (if available), or choose Load
Texture from the Texture pop-up menu to specify a file.
3 Drag the Scaling slider (if available) to enlarge or reduce the effect on the bitmap
image’s surface.
4 Choose other available options:
• Drag the Relief slider (if available) to adjust the depth of the texture’s surface.
• From the Light Direction pop-up menu (if available), choose the direction from which
you want the light to appear.
• Select Invert (if available) to reverse the surface’s light and dark colors.
5 Click OK to apply the settings.
