To apply a Scattered Tiles effect:

  2. Click Scattered Tiles.
  3. On the Scattered Tiles tab, set the options as described below.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • Click Done to accept your changes and close the pane.

Scattered Tiles options

Tile size

Specifies the size of the tiles.

Scatter amount

Specifies how much the tiles will move from their original positions.

Background color

Specifies the color of the background. Click the color picker to select a different color.

Random Seed

Indicates the random placement of the tiles.

When you apply the Scattered Tiles effect to an image, ACDSee 12 places the tiles randomly. This makes the effect different every time you apply the filter. You can define a specific random seed to generate identical tile patterns.

To generate a new random seed, click Random Seed.
