Preview and edit a specular map

Depending on the scene lighting, painting and previewing a specular map can be difficult as the specular effect is somewhat transparent as you paint.

To preview and edit a specular map

1. Temporarily move the paint layer from the Specular channel to the Diffuse channel.

   (If there is currently no Diffuse channel, right-click the layer instead and select Move Selected To > Diffuse to create it.)

   This lets you view and the specular effect more easily.

2. When finished editing, drag the layer back to the Specular channel.

   (If there is currently no Specular channel, right-click the layer instead and select Move Selected To > Specular to recreate it.)
