Stylize Filters - Adobe PHOTOSHOP CS2 User Manual

Renders the image as if it had a polished chrome surface. Highlights are high points, and shadows are low

points in the reflecting surface. After applying the filter, use the Levels dialog box to add more contrast to the image.
Replicates the texture of dense dark and pure white Conté crayons on an image. The Conté Crayon
Conté Crayon
filter uses the foreground color for dark areas and the background color for light areas. For a truer effect, change the
foreground color to one of the common Conté Crayon colors (black, sepia, sanguine) before applying the filter. For
a muted effect, change the background color to white, add some of the foreground color to the white background,
and then apply the filter.
Uses fine, linear ink strokes to capture the details in the original image. The effect is especially striking
Graphic Pen
with scanned images. The filter replaces color in the original image, using the foreground color for ink and the
background color for paper.
Halftone Pattern Simulates the effect of a halftone screen while maintaining the continuous range of tones.
Creates an image that appears to be constructed of handmade paper. This filter simplifies images and
Note Paper
combines the effects of the 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
Photocopy
edges, and midtones fall away to either solid black or solid white.
Plaster 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
Reticulation
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
Stamp
black-and-white images.
Torn Edges 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.
Water Paper 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
Diffuse
(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
Emboss
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 also "To use the Extrude filter" on page 524.
