Chapter 14 Maximizing Filters
Conté Crayon Conté crayons are usually very dark or pure white. The Conté Crayon fi lter uses the foreground for dark areas and the background for light ones. To replicate the traditional look, use a dark red, brown, or black for the foreground color. This fi lter can also be used as an optional way to achieve an historical-looking sepia tone.
Graphic Pen The Graphic Pen filter uses fine strokes to replicate the original image. The foreground color acts as ink; the background color acts as the paper.
Halftone Pattern The Halftone Pattern fi lter is useful for stylizing an image. You can choose dots, circles, or lines. This fi lter can be used to create a scan line look or a unique twist on pixelization. The foreground and background colors are very important. Be sure to use the Fade command on this fi lter.
Note Paper The Note Paper fi lter creates an image that looks like it is constructed of handmade paper. Its results are marginal but worth the occasional try.
