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.
