Edge Outline
Finds edges from the brightness gradient and draws them as flat-colour outlines over the original picture. Thickness and Threshold control how bold and how many.
What it does
Edge Outline is an image effect: it changes the picture that flows through it. It takes picture in and gives picture out.
Try it
Give a video a hand-inked comic look by adding a black outline over it.
