### 7.8.55 Layer Style/Create Texture

Create Texture is a very powerful style with many options. It is rewarding to play a while with the various settings, because the results are often astonishing.

The style creates a height map for the layer and illuminates it. There are 3 ways for creating the height map:

- The brightness of the layer content is use as height. The option is only useful, if the content of the layer is not single colored, because otherwise the result will be quite boring.

- A pattern color is used as source. This way it is possible to map a texture on to the layer for example a paper pattern.

- PhotoLine is generating a pattern. There are several options to control the result.
