Stylize > Emboss and Texture > Grain filters. Dark areas of the image appear as holes in the top layer of paper, revealing the background color.

Simulates the effect of photocopying an image. Large dark areas tend to be copied only around their edges, and midtones fall away

to either solid black or solid white.

Molds an image from 3D plaster, and then colorizes the result using the foreground and background color. Dark areas are raised, and

light areas are recessed.

Simulates the controlled shrinking and distortion of film emulsion to create an image that appears clumped in the shadows and lightly

grained in the highlights.

Simplifies the image so that it appears to be created with a rubber or wood stamp. This filter is best used with black-and-white images.

Reconstructs the image so that it appears composed of ragged, torn pieces of paper, and then colorizes the image using the

foreground and background colors. This filter is particularly useful for text or high-contrast objects.

Uses blotchy daubs that appear painted onto fibrous, damp paper, causing the colors to flow and blend.

Stylize filters

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.

Shuffles pixels in a selection to soften focus according to the selected option: Normal moves pixels randomly (ignoring color values),

Darken Only replaces light pixels with darker ones, and Lighten Only replaces dark pixels with lighter ones. Anisotropic shuffles pixels in the
direction of the least change in color.

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 recess 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.

Gives a 3D texture to a selection or layer. See

Apply the Extrude filter

.

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.

Identifies the edges of color and adds a neon-like glow to them. This filter can be applied cumulatively.

Blends a negative and a positive image—similar to exposing a photographic print briefly to light during development.

Breaks up an image into a series of tiles, creating an offset between the selection and 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.

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. See

Apply the Trace Contour filter

.

Places tiny horizontal lines in the image to create a windblown effect. Methods include Wind; Blast, for a more dramatic wind effect; and

Stagger, which offsets the lines in the image.
