Brush Strokes


    This effect applies a rough painted look to an image. You can also use this effect to achieve a pointillist-style look by setting the length of the brush strokes to zero and increasing the stroke density. Although you specify the direction of strokes, they are scattered randomly by a small amount to give a more natural effect. This effect alters the alpha channel, as well as the color channels; if you have masked out a portion of the image, the brush strokes "paint" over the edges of the mask.
