Smart Blur
Precisely blurs an image. You can
specify a radius, to determine how far the filter
searches for dissimilar pixels to blur; a threshold,
to determine how different the pixels’ values
should be before they are eliminated; and a blur
quality. You also can set a mode for the entire
selection (Normal), or for the edges of color
transitions (Edge Only and Overlay Edge). Where
significant contrast occurs, Edge Only applies
black-and-white edges, and Overlay Edge
applies white.

Brush Stroke filters
Like the Artistic filters, the Brush Stroke filters give
a painterly or fine-arts look using different brush
and ink stroke effects. Some of the filters add
grain, paint, noise, edge detail, or texture to an
image for a pointillist effect.

Accented Edges
Accentuates the edges of an
image. When the edge brightness control is set to a
high value, the accents resemble white chalk; when
set to a low value, the accents resemble black ink.

Angled Strokes
Repaints an image using diagonal
strokes. The lighter areas of the image are painted
in strokes going in one direction, while the darker
areas are painted in strokes going the opposite
direction.

areas are painted in strokes going the opposite

Crosshatch
Preserves the details and features of
the original image while adding texture and
roughening the edges of the colored areas in the
image with simulated pencil hatching. The
appearance of the hatching can be adjusted with
the Stroke Length and Sharpness options. The
Strength option controls the number of hatching
passes, from 1 to 3.

Distort filters
The Distort filters geometrically distort an image,
creating 3D or other reshaping effects. Note that
these filters can be very memory intensive.

Diffuse Glow
Renders an image as though it were
viewed through a soft diffusion filter. The filter
adds see-through white noise to an image, with the
glow fading from the center of a selection.
