-
Contour Alignment:
Default:
0.5,
Range:
0 to 1.
Interpolates between the brush stroke direction being fully aligned to the angle param (0) and the contours of the original source (1). Vary angle offsets the stroke in both directions from this interpolated direction.

[1 1 1].
The paint color to use.
-
Bg Opacity:

-
Seed:
Default:
0.123,
Range:
0 or greater.
Used to initialize the random number generator. The actual seed value is not significant, but different seeds give different results and the same value should give a repeatable result.
-
Crop To Source Alpha:
Check-box, Default:
off.
Crops the effect to the bounds of the source alpha.
-
Soft Borders:
Check-box, Default:
off.
If enabled, transparent borders are added to the input image before processing. This allows the result to include soft edges beyond the original image size. When off, the effect only occurs within the frame and the result will retain an edge at the borders.
