Cutline Filter:
Engraving and Woodcut Photoshop Plugin

Cutline Filter

The Cutline filter is intended for use on continuous tone gray scale images. The best results are seen with photos or illustrations with gradient blends.
Cutline screens are a combination of line/dot screens. A standard line screen represents gray tones in a photo or illustration by varying the thickness of black lines on a white background. However, in the Cutline screen, as lines get thicker, angles cuts appear in the lines, which cause them to break into dots. The result is an effect that emulates the classic old world engraving and woodcut techniques.
