Diffuse
The Diffuse filter shuffles pixels in a selection to make the selection look less focused according to the option you select: Normal moves pixels
randomly, ignoring color values; Darken Only replaces light pixels with darker pixels; Lighten Only replaces dark pixels with lighter pixels; and
Anisotropic softens all pixels.
Emboss
The Emboss filter makes a selection appear raised or stamped by converting its fill color to gray and tracing the edges with the original fill color.
You can set the embossing angle, height, and a percentage for the amount of color within the selection.
Extrude
The Extrude filter gives a three-dimensional texture to a selection or layer.
Apply the Extrude filter
1. In the Edit workspace, select an image, layer, or area.
2. Choose Stylize > Extrude from the Filter menu.
3. Set the following options and click OK:
Blocks Creates objects with a square front face and four side faces.
Pyramids Creates objects with four triangular sides that meet at a point.
Size Determines the length of the object's base, from 2 to 255 pixels.
Depth Indicates how far the tallest object appears to protrude from the screen, from 1 to 255.
Random Gives each block or pyramid an arbitrary depth.
Level-based Makes each object's depth correspond to its brightness—bright objects protrude more than dark.
Solid Front Faces Fills the front face of each block with an averaged color of the block. Deselect Solid Front Faces to fill the
front face of each block with the image. This option is not available for Pyramids.
Mask Incomplete Blocks Hides any object extending beyond the selection.
Find Edges
The Find Edges filter identifies areas of the image with significant transitions and emphasizes edges. Like the Trace Contour filter, Find Edges
outlines the edges of an image with dark lines against a white background and is useful for creating a border around an image.
Note: After using filters like Find Edges and Trace Contour that highlight edges, you can apply the Invert filter to outline the edges of a color
image with colored lines or a grayscale image with white lines.
Glowing Edges
The Glowing Edges filter identifies the edges of color and adds a neon-like glow to them. You can set the edge width, brightness, and
smoothness.
