Using Wallpaper you can quasi paint a background image free.

Click on the black arrow to either load a texture (**Load**) or to define the currently opened texture or a part thereof (applies to active selections (**Load From Selection/Texture**) as a Wallpaper.

To blend a color with the wallpaper, define a color in the color pane and use the slider in the Wallpaper pane to set the blend strength.

Also, you can choose from the full complement of blending modes — see [Blending Mode](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/11718.html.md).
