Working with Art Media layers


Art Media layers are automatically created when you use the Art Media tools. You can also convert Art Media layers to raster layers.

You can choose to create a new image with an Art Media layer. You can also choose a canvas texture on which to apply the Art Media pigment, and you can apply a fill color or a canvas color to the texture. To add to the effect, you can dry or wet an Art Media layer at any time.
