To use only one color, drag the strength value of one color to 0.
Color A and Color B Specify the paint colors that stand out in the image. Use the eyedropper to select point colors
directly from the image, or click the color swatch to choose a color from the Color Picker. Brightness or dullness does
not affect the results; however, the hue is important. For example, you can select a dark green or a light green and the
result will be the same. You can refine the color by clicking the color swatch and adjusting the color in the Color Picker.
Strength A and Strength B Control the influence of the associated paint color. The stronger the paint, the more it is
used to color neighboring hues.

Line Drawing
The Line Drawing effect converts an image into a series of dots and lines drawn against a plain-colored background.
Paper Sets the background color. Use the eyedropper to select a color directly from the image, or click the color swatch
to choose a color from the Color Picker.
Ink Sets the pen color used for drawing the lines. Use the eyedropper or color swatch to choose a color.
Density Sets the sensitivity for creating lines. Slide to the far left for little to no lines. Slide to the right and the picture
becomes increasingly busy with lines filling in the textures.

Metallic
The Metallic effect paints an image to look like it’s hammered out of metal. You can control the metal’s color, its
behavior, and the amount it mixes with the original image.
Color Specifies the color of the metal. Use the eyedropper to select a color directly from the image, or click the color
swatch to choose a color from the Color Picker.
Metal Specifies how much metal is mixed into the picture. Use this in conjunction with the Picture control to create
a nice blend between metal and original picture.
Picture Specifies how much of the original picture to blend in with the metal. Mixing metal with the original colors
creates a much more appealing result. Turn up both Metal and Picture to increase brightness.

Pastel Sketch
The Pastel Sketch effect softens colors and draws sharp lines around the edges, creating the effect of a painting in pastel
colors.
Density Controls the sensitivity for creating lines. Drag to the left to decrease the number of lines; drag right to
increase the number of lines.
Blend Specifies how to mix the original image with the sketched image. Drag to the right if you want more of the
original image to show through. Drag to the left to achieve a more sketched look.
