Traces an image’s edges and reduces its colors, to make it look like a comic illustration.
Blur Radius — The maximum radius, in points, to affect when applying blur before tracing. Useful for reducing noise and giving the image an airbrushed look.Edge Color — The color to draw the image’s edges.Edge Width — The size, in points, of the image’s edges.Edge Threshold — How picky to be about what constitutes an edge. Lower values result in more edges; higher values result in fewer edges.Image Colors — How many variations of each color channel to use when filtering a pixel. For example, a value of 6 means that the Red, Blue, and Green channels that make up a color will each have 6 shades, making 216 total color possibilities (6 * 6 * 6).Show Image — Whether to show the (blurred) original image behind the traced lines. If false, the edges will be drawn and the rest of the image will be transparent.
