Photoshop CS3  |  Go to CS4 Help

Apply the Trace Contour filter

  1. Choose Filter > Stylize > Trace Contour.
  2. Choose an Edge option to outline areas in the selection: Lower outlines areas where the color values of pixels fall below the specified level, and Upper outlines areas where the color values fall above.
  3. Enter a threshold (Level) for evaluating color values (tonal level), from 0 to 255. Experiment to see what values bring out the best detail in the image.

    Use the Info palette in Grayscale mode to identify a color value that you want traced. Then enter the value in the Level text box.

I purchased and loaded PS3 only to find that in the filters menu there are
only a limited number of filters. My favorite WIND in not in there. Can you
help?

Some filters are unavailable for certain file types, such 16 bit. It's also possible that you've installed 3rd party filters which may not be compatible with Intel Macs.
