Apply a bitmap as a fill

To apply a bitmap as a fill to a graphic object, use the Color panel. Applying a bitmap as a fill tiles the bitmap to fill the object. The Gradient Transform tool allows you to scale, rotate, or skew an image and its bitmap fill.

  1. To apply the fill to existing artwork, select a graphic object or objects on the Stage.
  2. Select Window > Color.
  3. Select Bitmap from the pop-up menu in the center of the panel.
  4. To use a larger preview window to display more bitmaps in the current document, click the arrow in the lower-right corner to expand the Color panel.
  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.
