• EmbroideryCovers the image in wavy animated thread rows tinted with the Ink color for a knitted fabric look.
• Kilim CarpetOverlays a woven diamond-and-stripe carpet pattern in two colors, shaded by image brightness.
• Cross StitchRenders the image as X-shaped cross stitches on Paper-colored fabric.
• Stitch PosterCombines character art with cross-stitch X marks that get denser in dark areas over a paper-tinted background.

Each effect repeats a small fabric pattern in a grid over the picture and lets the picture show through it: its colours (Embroidery, Cross Stitch) or its brightness (Kilim Carpet, Stitch Poster) decide how each cell looks.

• Scale (Stitch Size, Cell Size) sets the size of one stitch or pattern cell.
• Ink tints the threads; Paper is the fabric (Kilim Carpet uses both as its two yarn colours).
• Amount mixes back towards the original.

Embroidery’s threads ripple slowly during playback. Stitch Poster is a look of the glyph engine; the others share the pattern engine of Print & Halftone.

Pattern sizes are measured in pixels. More: Effect system.
