blocks, for example.
For a more realistic effect, change the foreground color to one of the common Conté Crayon colors (black, sepia, or sanguine) before applying
this filter. For a muted effect, change the background color to white with some foreground color added to it.
Graphic Novel
The Graphic Novel filter (Filter > Sketch > Graphic Novel) creates the impression that the image was sketched for the graphic novel genre of
artwork. Graphic novel artwork is restricted to shades of grey, and black and white. The adjustments you can make to the outcome include the
overall amount of whites in the image (Darkness), the amount of details available in the outcome (Clean Look), the contrast levels (Contrast), and
the thickness of the strokes used to define shapes and outlines.
Graphic Pen
The Graphic Pen filter uses fine, linear ink strokes to capture the details in the original image and is especially striking with scanned images. The
filter replaces color in the original image, using the foreground color for ink and background color for paper. You can set the stroke length and
direction, and the light/dark balance.
Halftone Pattern
The Halftone Pattern filter simulates the effect of a halftone screen while maintaining the continuous range of tones. You can set the halftone size,
contrast, and pattern type.
Note Paper
The Note Paper filter simulates the texture of handmade paper by combining the effects of the Emboss and Grain filters. Dark areas in the image
appear as holes in the top layer of paper, revealing the background color. You can set the image balance, graininess, and relief.
Pen and Ink
The Pen and Ink filter (Filter > Sketch > Pen and Ink) simulates artistic sketching to its closest form. To ensure that you get the best effects, adjust
ink-related settings to preserve details (Detail), the thickness of artistic strokes (Width), the saturation of darker aspects (Darkness), and the
contrast levels (Contrast). You can also manipulate the Pen settings to introduce a dominant color in the image with settings like choice of color
(Hue), contrast values (Contrast), and degree to which the color must be filled (Fill).
Photocopy
The Photocopy filter simulates the effect of photocopying an image. Large areas of darkness tend to copy only around their edges, and midtones
fall away to either solid black or white. You can set the level of detail and darkness.
Plaster
The Plaster filter molds the layer into a 3D plaster effect, and then colorizes the result using the foreground and background color. Dark areas are
raised, light areas are sunken. You can set the image balance, smoothness, and light direction.
Reticulation
The Reticulation filter simulates the controlled shrinking and distorting of film emulsion to create an image that appears clumped in the shadow
areas and lightly grained in the highlights. You can set the density, foreground, and background levels.
Stamp
The Stamp filter simplifies the image so that it seems made with a rubber or wood stamp. You can set the smoothness, and the balance between
light and dark. This filter works best with black-and-white images.
Torn Edges
The Torn Edges filter reconstructs the image as ragged, torn pieces of paper, and then colorizes the image using the foreground and background
color. You can set the image balance, smoothness, and contrast. This filter is particularly useful for images consisting of text or high-contrast
