What does the Graphite Drawing effect change?

Graphite Drawing translates photographic edges, colors, and values into the marks and surface behavior of the named art medium, while retaining the source composition. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Graphite Drawing?

Choose Graphite Drawing for story-driven social content, custom portraits and gifts, or editorial illustrations when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains low-resolution faces, illegible source text, or photographs whose key identity depends on tiny texture that the chosen medium simplifies.
