top. The higher you set this value, the less the effect affects the layer. For example, if you set this value to 100%, the effect has no visible result on
the layer; if you set this value to 0%, the original image doesn’t show through.
Strobe Duration (secs) How long, in seconds, each strobe lasts.
Strobe Period (secs) The time, in seconds, between the start of subsequent strobes.
Random Strobe Probability The probability that the strobe operation applies to any given frame.
Strobe Choose Makes Layer Transparent for each strobe to make the layer transparent. Choose Operates On Color Only to use the operation
specified by Strobe Operator.
Strobe Operator The operation to use for each strobe.
Texturize effect
The Texturize effect gives a layer the appearance of having the texture of another layer. For example, you could make the image of a tree appear
as if it had the texture of bricks, and control the depth of the texture and the apparent light source. At Best quality, the texture layer is positioned
and scaled with subpixel precision.
Chris Zwar provides an example project on his website that uses the Displacement Map effect, the Turbulent Displace effect, the Texturize effect,
and a combination of Blur and Color Correction effects to create a transition in which an image appears as a watercolor image washed onto a
rough piece of paper.
This effect works with 8-bpc color.
Original layers (left), and with whirl layer applied as the texture (lower-right)
Texture Layer The source of the texture.
Light Direction The angle at which light hits the texture.
Texture Contrast The magnitude of the result.
Texture Placement How the texture layer is applied to the effect layer:
Tile Texture Applies the texture repeatedly.
Center Texture Positions the texture in the middle.
Stretch Texture To Fit Stretches the texture to the dimensions of the effect layer.
Threshold effect
The Threshold effect converts grayscale or color images to high-contrast, black-and-white images. Specify a certain level as a threshold; all pixels
lighter than the threshold convert to white and all pixels darker convert to black.
This effect works with 8-bpc and 16-bpc color.
