What does the Continuous One-Line effect change?

Continuous One-Line rebuilds the photograph through an organized line pattern, using source edges and luminance to control each mark's direction, spacing, and prominence. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Continuous One-Line?

Choose Continuous One-Line for coloring-page references, product illustrations with a clear silhouette, or architectural sketches when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains very noisy photos, low-resolution faces, or scenes whose subject and background have almost no edge contrast.

About the Continuous One-Line effect

Continuous One-Line derives marks from local edges and brightness before controlling their spacing, weight, and direction. Its intensity control blends the processed output with the uploaded pixels, so the edit can remain restrained or become the dominant look.
