Stylize
|
The
Stylize filters produce a painted or impressionistic effect on
a selection by displacing pixels and by finding and heightening
contrast in an image. After using filters like Find Edges and
Trace Contour that highlight edges, you can apply the Invert command
to outline the edges of a color image with colored lines or to
outline the edges of a grayscale image with white lines. |
| Diffuse
Shuffles
pixels in a selection to make the selection look less focused
according to the selected option: Normal moves pixels randomly,
ignoring color values; Darken Only replaces light pixels with
darker pixels; and Lighten Only replaces dark pixels with lighter
pixels. Anisotropic shuffles pixels in the direction of the
least change in color. |

Emboss
Makes
a selection appear raised or stamped by converting its fill
color to gray and tracing the edges with the original fill color.
Options include an embossing angle (from -360° to lower
(stamp) the surface, to +360° to raise the surface), height,
and a percentage (1% to 500%) for the amount of color within
the selection. To retain color and detail when embossing, use
the Fade command after applying the Emboss filter.

Extrude
Gives
a 3D texture to a selection or layer. |
 |
| |
| Find
Edges Identifies
the areas of the image with significant transitions and emphasizes
the edges. Like the Trace Counter filter, Find Edges outlines
the edges of an image with dark lines against a white background
and is useful for creating a border around an image. |
 |
| |
|
Glowing
Edges
Identifies
the edges of color and adds a neon-like glow to them. |
 |
| |
| Solarize
Blends
a negative and a positive image--similar to exposing a photographic
print briefly to light during development. |
 |
| |
| Tiles
Breaks
up an image into a series of tiles, off-setting the selection
from its original position. You can choose one of the following
to fill the area between the tiles: the background color, the
foreground color, a reverse version of the image, or an unaltered
version of the image, which puts the tiled version on top of
the original and reveals part of the original image underneath
the tiled edges. |
 |
| |
|
Trace
Contour
Finds
the transitions of major brightness areas and thinly outlines
them for each color channel for an effect similar to the lines
in a contour map. |
 |
| |
|
Wind
Creates
tiny horizontal lines in the image to simulate a wind effect.
Methods include Wind; Blast, for a more dramatic wind effect;
and Stagger, which offsets the wind lines in the image. |
