I posted some time ago wanting to know how to paint with textures in Elements2. I got some answers but wasn’t satisfied. Why I wanted to know was, I use PhotoImpactXL and painting with textures is a cinch. However, Elements has a huge range of brushes compared to PI so I was keen to get a similar result.
Click on the Pattern Stamp tool on the tool bar. Select your brush from the brush panel (but don’t click on the brush tool). Decide which Pattern you wish to use on the Options Bar. Paint away.
The only thing I miss in Elements in this area is being able to load any image from the hard drive to use as a texture. This is always possible in PI. Of course, you could use the clone brush, but you should be able to load any image and this should be an option instead of just.PAT files under Patterns.
