When you apply stain to an object or image and wipe it back off, parts appear dark and where more stain was removed there will be lighter areas. This is a way to add color in only some areas of an image. Also part of this filter is an outline overlay effect. The ability to change the color of both the stain and the outline makes for some unusual image effects.
