Bas Relief
The Bas Relief filter transforms an image to appear carved in low relief and lit to accent the surface variations. Dark areas of the image take on
the foreground color, light areas use the background color. You can set relief detail and smoothness.
Chalk & Charcoal
The Chalk & Charcoal filter redraws an image’s highlights and midtones with a solid midtone gray background drawn in coarse chalk. Shadow
areas are replaced with black diagonal charcoal lines. The charcoal is drawn in the foreground color, the chalk in the background color. You can
set stroke pressure, and the charcoal and chalk areas.
Charcoal
The Charcoal filter redraws an image to create a smudged effect. Major edges are boldly drawn, and midtones are sketched using a diagonal
stroke. Charcoal is the foreground color, and the paper is the background color. You can set the charcoal thickness, level of image detail, and
light/dark balance.
Chrome
The Chrome filter gives the image a polished chrome surface using highlights as high points and shadows as low points in the reflecting surface.
You can set the level of chrome surface detail and smoothness.
After applying the Chrome filter, use the Levels dialog box to add more contrast to the image.
Comic
The Comic filter (Filter > Sketch > Comic) creates the impression that the image was hand-created by a comic artist. The final outcome can be
adjusted to include the level of detailing that you need. The main controls are to change the range of colors (Soften), the number of colors
reproduced (Shades), how the colors transition from one to another (steepness), and the vividness of the colors (Vibrance). In addition to this, you
can adjust the thickness of the pen strokes that are used to outline shapes.
Conté Crayon
The Conté Crayon filter replicates the texture of dense dark and pure white Conté crayons on an image. The Conté Crayon filter uses the
foreground color for dark areas and the background color for light areas. You can set the level of foreground and background emphasis, and
texture options. Texture options make images appear as if they were painted onto textures, such as canvas and brick, or viewed through glass
