The effects are grouped into 5 major categories and a number of specific effects under each.
  • Pencil Sketch:  Six variations including one called Oil Pastel.
  • Pen and Ink Sketch:  Two variations
  • Painting:  11 variations covering watercolor, brushstrokes, and oil painting.
  • Stylized:  Six effects covering pixelation, cartoon, emergence, and half-toning.
  • Miscellaneous:  Three effects - vivify, vintage, and merge source and result images.
I have not tried all of these, but particularly like results under the Painting group of effects.
