Engraving
Redraws the layers below as engraved line work — banknote portrait, cross-hatching or one spiral groove
Before photographs could be printed, pictures were cut into copper by hand: thousands of fine parallel lines, thicker where the image is dark and thinner where it is light, bowing with the shape of a face or a fold of cloth. It is still the look of a banknote portrait. This redraws whatever is beneath it the same way, adds a second layer of crossing lines in the deepest shadows, and can cut the whole picture as one continuous spiral groove instead, like a coin.

- Blob Tracker — Locks targeting marks onto what moves below
- Contour — Detects edges with a Sobel filter and draws them as clean outlines
- CRT — Puts the layers below on a tube screen — scanlines, phosphor and curved glass, or worn VHS tape
- Dither — Ordered dithering of the layers below (duotone or reduced color)
- Glitch — Row displacement and scanline injection
- Glyph Dither — ASCII/glyph rendering of the layers below, by brightness
- Grain — Film grain noise, optionally animated
- Halftone — Rebuilds the image as a rotated grid of ink dots, lines or squares
- Pixelate — Snap coordinates to a coarse block grid
- Posterize — Quantize luminance into a flat color palette
- Subdivide — Break the layers below into blocks that keep splitting, by chance or by detail
- Topo Lines — Draws contour lines through the layers below, like a topographic map of their brightness
