What does the Double Outline effect change?

Double Outline traces meaningful boundaries and tonal changes as deliberate linework, reducing surface noise while keeping the subject's recognizable silhouette and features. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Double Outline?

Choose Double Outline for landscapes with strong contours, portrait line art, or poster and zine graphics 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.
