Filter Effects

On this post I will be looking at lots of different filters that can change an image drastically for a desired effect. The image I will use is below.

Original

Cut out

This filter groups similar colours into a set amount of layers. It gives the effect that it has been cut out and layered. I like this effect because it makes the image stand out more.

I set the filters settings to:

Levels - 7

Edge simplicity - 3

Edge fidelity - 1

Grain

This effect gives the image a grain texture. I think this effect makes the image look good as the background is out of focus and it is snowing.

I set the filters settings to:

Intensity - 67

Contrast - 88

Cross Hatch

This effect made no dramatic effect as I did it before I resized the image. Though, it has subtly made it look softer which suits this image.

I set the filters settings to:

Stroke length - 40

Sharpness - 6

Strength - 3

Charcoal and chalk

This effect makes the image look black and white and supposedly done with chalk and charcoal. I think it is too perfect as this would not be able to be achieved by hand. Though i do like the effect as the black is dark and the white is bright.

I set the filters settings to:

Charcoal area - 14

Chalk area - 6

Stroke pressure - 3
