The Pixelate Filters
Color Halftone
This filter performs color-separation on
an image. It converts overstated reduction of color information to half-tone
dots, creating a nice effect. This filter can also
be used on a grayscale image.
Crystallize
This filter achieves its effect by applying irregular solid-color shapes. The user-defined option
of cell size specifies the size of the solid color shapes. This filter will
make the image look as if the
surface is covered with bumpy glass.Facet
The Facet Filter alters
and distorts the color values of the pixels in an image to make clustered
pixels that mirror the overall color of an image. It produces a very soft
effect, and it doesn't even have a pop-up dialog box to adjust intensity.Fragment
This filter takes
the original image and creates
four copies and aligns them together offset by a distance of one or two pixels with about half opacity. This
filter has no real use.
Mezzotint
This filter creates a pattern on top of the image that the user specifies. Options are strokes, lines, and
dots. This can create an interesting effect simulating two images overlapping, with the top one at partial
opacity.
Pointilize
As the name implies, this filter creates an effect similar to pointillistic paintings. The user can change
the shape of the dots and the background color, the color between the dots.
