• For EdgeDetection, the results are the same for opposite angles. For example, angles 0 and 180 have the same result when used with the edge detection mask.
• When an image undergoes image convolution each pixel of the image is multiplied by a mask to create a new pixel value. The mask is an array of values that describes the weight that should be given to each of the pixels surrounding a specific pixel. The new pixel value is the result of the mask sum being divided by the mask weight. Using different masks result in different alterations of the image. The masks used in this command result in different types of edge detection.
• As an example of the different masks, consider the following example:
  
• To obtain these images, the following settings were used:
  

  Parameters	Emboss	Edge	ESplotch	Splotch
  Angle	0	0	180	0
  Depth	3	3	3	3
  Height	250	250	100	100
