In general it is not a good idea to post a new topic on an old post. Better to start a new topic even if it is related.

However, IM does not have any thing like the Photoshop cutout filter. I think they must do raster to vector conversion, thin the vectors and then rasterize again. That would likely be how they get more coarse results. IM has no vector processing. Perhaps Anthony might know of some mixed processing concepts using vector tools.

As for the filter, love to know how it works.
