after reading hakoo's last post here I had to try it out. I also discovered that not only can you make your own custom brushes you can also make your own custom paper textures the same way.
Here is one I did that looks like needlepoint.

Way cool! :D
I posted these a while ago. The first (left images) are the originals. The others are with my own bubble brush.

here is another one custom brush, custom paper
Yet another one. this time terrycloth! I think it kinda looks like an art deco bathmat
I've been playing around with custom art brushes again. The original vector drawing is on the left, the two images on the right are done with the same custom brush, just different settings
Great effects Frances. The leaves image on the top right looks very much like water colour on the paper used in my high school art class.
It appears that textures tile in at 1:1. Brushes and tiles need to be BMP format. They seem to be only used in grayscale regardless. Color images get converted to grayscale for use. Brushes don't seem to be depentent on size.
The program need the default files in its folders. My test showed the image could be different, but the file name needs to be there.
I loaded several grayscale textures to the paper and brush folder, and they read fine. I made the paper textures smaller. You could use larger texture images to get a different effect.
Presets just name an image. Text files.

Rich I have no idea what your post is saying. Was there a question you are answering that I missed?
Bill,
I was looking at how the program uses brushes and textures so that you would be able to design them better.
The resources are fairly small images. How would you ever guess what could be used.
Rich
Thanks Rich but I'm still not comprehending the information.
HI Bill
if I read Rich right what he saying is that the brushes and textures in question - ie those used by the magix live effect filter[s], not the ones xtreme has always had - are in bmp format and greyscale file based, which is useful to know as you can make your own....
darn - pressed submit instead of preview again :o
live effect>art filter> painting
for 'texture' read 'paper' - ok done sorry for the sequification
Thanks Steve that helps. I'm not sure if my memory is wonky due to age or if I've had a mini-stroke. :(
its fine we all get like that - I am slipping way out of practice these days with the technical PC stuff, except where it is directly relevant to my own machines...
Remembers me the great fun I had many years ago with my first Corel Photopaint on a 486 and a third party painting plugin bundled with it. I discovered how to add custom brushes but at this time that was completely undocumented and some of them even severely crashed Windows 3.11. Forgotten heroic times !!!
kindly,
