Applying Marbling
The Marbling effect creates intricate distortions of an image, following a technique that dates back to the
12th century. Marbling is created by dragging a fork, or rake, across an image, which produces an effect
similar to a fork dragging through a mix of chocolate syrup and melted ice cream.

Each time you drag a rake across an image, you create a step. You can create marbling “recipes” that
include several steps — each one using a different rake, direction, and waviness. You can save marbling
recipes and reuse them.
Marbling works best with patterns or textures. Using the Blobs effect is an excellent way of creating the raw
materials for marbling; filling with a pattern is another. For more information, see “Applying Blobs” on page
630.
To create a marbling recipe

3 Move any of the following sliders:
• Spacing — adjusts the distance between rake teeth, which controls the number of teeth in the rake.
When the slider is all the way to the right, the rake has one tooth.
• Offset — moves the rake in a perpendicular direction to the path direction, which adjusts the
position of the rake lines
