Applying a Sobel effect
You can use the Sobel effect to create a highlighted outline of your image. After creating a black image, the effect uses colored lines
to outline the detail of an image where significant color differences exist. Greater differences between colors in the original image
produce brighter outline colors. (The Sobel effect is similar to the Edge Detect effect, but produces sharper and brighter outlines.)

1. In Edit mode, in the Add group, click Special Effect .

Applying a Solarize effect
You can use the Solarize effect to simulate the effect of overexposing an image, as though the film was exposed to light before
developing. You can select or change the Solarize options to apply this effect to your image, and save your options as a
preset for
use at another time.
