What does the Fine Crosshatch effect change?

Fine Crosshatch translates local brightness into a controlled field of drawn marks, varying spacing and density so shading remains legible as a handmade print texture. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Fine Crosshatch?

Choose Fine Crosshatch for architectural sketches, coloring-page references, or product illustrations with a clear silhouette 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.
