Inverting textures

Jump to Mobile

The dark and light areas define the “bumps” and “crevices” that compose the texture. You may have a texture that would be perfect for your needs, if only the darks were lights and the lights were darks. Use Invert to switch them. You can immediately see the effect in the Brush Properties preview.

In the example above, the same texture was used, it was just inverted.
