Abstraction (Studio Version Only)
A deceptively powerful filter that lets you create a wide range of cartoon-like renders by
simplifying an image into adjustable pools of similar color with optional outlines.
Main Controls
These controls create the foundation of this effect.
Pre Blur: Simplifies the image by blurring unwanted details prior to this filter
takingeffect.
Abstraction Strength and Iterate Abstraction: These parameters work together to then
smooth the image, creating pools of simplified color within the details of the image.
Abstraction Strength: Must be higher than 0 for the Iteration No. parameter to
have an effect. Higher Abstraction Strength simplifies image detail even more by
averaging adjacent regions of color together.
Iterate Abstraction: Reduces the amount of small detail in the image even further by
“widening” adjacent areas of similar color to blend together as one.
Quantization Controls
These controls simplify the pools of color even more aggressively by quantizing the bit depth
used to stylize the image. The result is an even sharper flattening of each region of color.
Quantization: A checkbox turns this function on.
Steps: Raising this parameter lets you subdivide each region of color into a greater
number of separate regions.
Softness: Lets you blur the border between each level of color.
Draw Edge Controls
Adds an edge to the regions of color created by this effect.
Draw Edge: Enables edge drawing.
Edge Strength: Raising this value results in thicker and better-defined edges.
Edge Detection Threshold: Raising this value restricts edges to only the boldest edge
details in the picture.
