Tiles
The Tiles filter breaks up an image into a series of tiles, offsetting the selection from its original position. You can set
the number of tiles and the offset percentage. You can also choose one of the following to fill the empty area between
the tiles: Background Color, Foreground Color, Inverse Image, or Unaltered Image, which puts the tiled version on
top of the original and reveals part of the original image underneath the tiled edges.

Trace Contour
The Trace Contour filter finds the transitions between major areas of brightness and thinly outlines them for an effect
similar to the lines in a contour map. You can set the level for evaluating color values, and specify whether to outline
pixels that are below (Lower) or above (Upper) that level.

Wind
The Wind filter creates tiny horizontal lines in the image to simulate a wind effect. You can set the wind strength and
direction.

Texture filters
Craquelure
The Craquelure filter paints an image onto a high-relief plaster surface, producing a fine network of cracks that follow
the contours of the image. Use this filter to create an embossing effect with images that contain a broad range of color
or grayscale values. You can set the crack spacing, depth, and brightness.

Grain
The Grain filter adds texture to an image by simulating different kinds of grain. The sprinkles and stippled grain types
use the background color. You can set the grain intensity, contrast, and type.

Mosaic Tiles
The Mosaic Tiles filter draws the image as if it were made up of small chips or tiles and adds grout between the tiles.
(In contrast, the Pixelate > Mosaic filter breaks up an image into blocks of different-colored pixels.) You can set the
tile size, grout width, and grout highlights.

Patchwork
The Patchwork filter breaks up an image into squares filled with the predominant color in different areas of the image.
The filter randomly reduces or increases the tile depth to replicate the highlights and shadows. You can set the square
size and relief.

Stained Glass
The Stained Glass filter repaints an image as single-colored adjacent cells outlined in the foreground color. You can
