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.

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.

Water Paper
The Water Paper filter uses blotchy daubs that appear to be painted onto fibrous, damp paper, causing the colors to
flow and blend. You can set the paper’s fiber length, brightness, and contrast.

Stylize filters
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.
