Applying a bitmap fill

You can apply a bitmap as a fill to a graphic object using the Color Mixer. Applying a bitmap as a fill tiles the bitmap to fill the object. The Fill Transform tool allows you to scale, rotate, or skew an image and its bitmap fill. See Transforming gradient and bitmap fills.

To apply a bitmap as a fill using the Color Mixer:

1 | To apply the fill to existing artwork, select a graphic object or objects on the Stage.
2 | Choose Window > Color Mixer.
3 | In the Color Mixer, choose Bitmap from the pop-up menu in the center of the panel.
4 | If you need a larger preview window to display more bitmaps in the current document, click the arrow in the lower right corner to expand the Color Mixer.
5 | Click a bitmap to select it.
| The bitmap becomes the current fill color. If you selected artwork in step 1, the bitmap is applied as a fill to the artwork.
