Functions Available in Artistic

Mosaic

Imposes a mosaic effect on an image by dividing the image into tiles of a specified size and changing the color of all pixels in each tile to the average color of pixels within the tile.

Add Border

Adds a border to the specified image.

Colored Pencil

Applies an effect to an image that makes it look like it has been drawn with colored pencils

Pointillist

Converts image colors into randomly placed dots to create a pointillist painting, and uses the background color to fill the area between dots.

Impressionist

Makes an image looks like as if painted by an impressionist painter.

Cubism

Remaps the image into a collection of rotated rectangles (cubic faces) so that it appears to have been created in the Cubist art style.

Lens Flare

Simulates the secondary reflections caused when bright lights are facing the camera lens. The lens flare is refracted into a series of lightened circles that surround the flare center point.

Glow Filter

Makes the colored edges shine with a neon glow.

Light

Adds many spots of directed light sources to the image.

Dry

This function simulates what would happen if the image had just been painted with paints and the paints were allowed to dry

Draw Star

Draws a star on the image

Add Frames

Adds a frame to the specified image.

Oilify

Applies an oil-painting effect to the image.

Bending

Warps the active image along a curved plane, centered on the pivot point.

Bricks Texture

Adds a brick texture that makes the image look like it has been drawn on a brick wall

Zoom Wave

Distorts the image with a wave zoomed from any specified point on the image.

Ripple

Warps the image in concentric rings

Aging

Adds old films distortions to the image

Displace Map

Displaces image pixels horizontally and vertically according to the values of the displacement map image.

Canvas

Combines two images, superimposing one image on another image that is used like a canvas.

Clouds

Applies the cloud effect on the image by generating clouds according to a given seed value.

Color Replace

Replace specified colors by adjusting new value of hue, saturation and brightness

Colored Balls

This function adds colored balls to the image.

Cylindrical

Warps the image around a cylinder.

Dice Effect

Split the image into square or rectangular blocks and rotate each block by one of the following angles 0,90,180, and 270, or flip the blocks around the X-axis and Y-axis

Diffuse Glow

Adds a colored glow to an image's light or dark areas, making these areas shine with a neon glow.

Edges Detect Effect

Detects the edges in an image and their strength.

Feather Alpha Blend

Combines image data from two images with feathering, by combining the two images with a variable opacity that depends on a fade mask.

Fragment

Averages an image with its shifted copies

Free Hand Shear

Shears the image by the wave drawn

Free Hand Wave

Distorts the image by a free hand drawn wave in any specified direction

Free Plane Bend

Wraps the image onto a 3D plane

Free Radial Bend

Wraps the image along its radius on a 3D surface

Functional Light

Lights the image according to a certain function-based distribution, hi-lighting, or darken some regions inside the image. You can also add some noise as lines or circles inside the image.

Mosaic Tiles

Creates a mosaic effect on an image by dividing an image into rectangular or arc-shaped cells with irregular boundaries and modifying the color of each cell.

Ocean

Reflects the image on an ocean surface.

Perlin Noise

Uses a pseudo-random number generator in order to create a Perlin noise, and then procedurally transforms that noise into a texture.

Perspective

Gives an image a 3-D effect, as if it exists on a flat plane and has been skewed into a different shape.

Picturize

Replaces the current image with an image created using images present in the specified directory.

Picturize List

Picturizes the specified image using other images.

Picturize Single

Picturizes the specified image using another thumbnail image.

Pixelate

Divides the image into rectangular or circular cells and then recreates the image by filling those cells with the minimum, maximum, or average pixel value, depending upon the effect that was selected.

Plane

Places the image on parallel planes along the Z-axis

Plane Bend

Places the image on parallel planes along the Z-axis bended toward the center point

Plasma

Applies color patterns that blend into each other like plasma

Punch

Warps the image by pinching it toward the center or expanding the image away from its center

Puzzle Effect

Splits the image into square blocks and redistribute them randomly inside the image

Radial Wave

Distorts an image by a radial wave radiating from any specified point on the image

Rev Effect

Creates a pseudo 3D wave effect based on the brightness along each line

Ring Effect

Divides the image into certain number of rings. Each ring is rotated according to a rotate angle.

Roman Mosaic

Segments the image into rectangular or rounded rectangular tiles and fills them with a color chosen randomly from the colors of the tiles pixels.

Spherize

Warps the image around a 3D spherical shape

Swirl

Spins the image according to the rotation angle to produce a swirl pattern

Texture Alpha Blend

Combines image data from two images with feathering and constant opacity.

Tunnel

Places the image inside a tunnel along the Z-axis.

Vignette

Draws a specified shape and feathers it to the image.

Wave

Distorts the image with two perpendicular waves in any specified direction or shape.

Wind

Creates thin lines, directed along certain angle, on the specified image.

ZigZag

Radially distorts the image by creating waves that twist the image around a specified center.

Zoom Blur

Blurs the image along radial lines starting from a specified center point.

Radial Blur

Blurs the image by rotating the pixels around the specified center point

Glass Effect

Divides the image into cells and makes it look as if it is being viewed through glass blocks

Alpha Blend

Combines image data from two images, using the specified opacity value.

Create Faded Mask

Creates a fade mask image in which the color of each pixel is changed with respect to its position in the image.

Color Halftone

Converts a 1-, 4-, 8-, 16-, 24-, or 32-bit image to a halftoned image, with a specified pattern rotation. A halftoned image is a 1-bit image that has been dithered for black and white printing or display.

Direction Edge Statistical

Detects the variation of colors in the specified direction using statistical indices

Edge Detect Statistical

Detects edges by examining the variation of colors in all directions using statistical indices.

Edge Detector

Applies the specified edge filter to the specified image.
