More Help topics "About filters" on page 200 Crystalize The Crystalize filter redraws a layer as polygon-shaped clumps of color. You can set the cell size of the crystals. Facet The Facet filter redraws a layer as blocks of solid color. You can use this filter to make a scanned image look handpainted or to make a realistic image resemble an abstract painting. Fragment The Fragment filter redraws a layer so that it appears offset and blurred. Mezzotint The Mezzotint filter redraws a layer as a random pattern of black-and-white areas in a grayscale image, or fully saturated colors in a color image. You can choose a dot, line, or stroke pattern. Mosaic The Mosaic filter redraws a layer as square blocks of color. You can set the mosaic cell size. Pointillize The Pointillize filter redraws a layer as randomly placed dots, as in a pointillist painting, and uses the background color in the toolbox as a canvas area between the dots. You can set the cell size. Render filters Clouds The Clouds filter generates a soft cloud pattern using random values that vary between the foreground and the background color in the toolbar. To generate a starker cloud pattern, hold down Alt (Option in Mac OS) as you choose Filter > Render > Clouds. Last updated 1/2/2012
