Artistic filters
Colored Pencil
The Colored Pencil filter redraws an image using colored pencils on a solid background. This filter retains important
edges and gives them a rough crosshatch appearance; the solid background color shows through the smoother areas.
You can set the pencil width, stroke pressure, and paper brightness.
Note: F
or a parchment effect, change the background color before applying the Colored Pencil filter to a selected area.
Cutout
The Cutout filter portrays an image as though it were made from roughly cut-out pieces of colored paper. High-contrast
images appear as if in silhouette, while colored images are built up from several layers of colored paper. You can set the
number of levels, edge simplicity, and edge fidelity.
Dry Brush
The Dry Brush filter paints an image using a dry brush technique (between oil and watercolor). The filter simplifies an
image by reducing its range of colors to areas of common color. You can set the brush size, brush detail, and texture.
