New Pen & Ink Effect
The Pen & Ink effect converts photographs into drawings using expressive contour lines and hatching technique. The effect imitates colored ink drawings, authentically reproducing the work of a pen.
Turn your photo into art! Make a pen sketch from any picture!
Improved Polar Coordinates Effect
The new version includes the reworked and modernized algorithm for Polar Coordinates. It allows you to convert images from rectangular to polar coordinates, and vice versa. A popular use for the filter is to transform panoramic cityscapes pictures into circular images, creating a tiny planet effect (a spherical panorama).
