Description

This is the 18th version of my long struggle to create a more robust and functional cutline filter. It's based on looking at old victorian etchings and adds improvements like crosshatching and mixed types of It has a lot of subtle functionality and it pays to incrementally tweak into shape. Tips for use: 1 The curvature of the lines comes from the color and Saturation of the image. If you want less wiggly bits on image or part of an image, desaturate that part. Also check out preset #22 Use the 'Size,pixels' to get denser patterns and fine tune using 'Pattern Density'. 3 It can look better to pre-smooth your image for smoother results. I use Redfields Perfectum filter for this.
