The next filter is Stylize. Stylize is a filter which will add lines to your image's detail and reduces the image to large areas of uniform color. I should mention this filter is rather elaborate, and contains a lot of settings for you to experiment with. The major differences within this filter are styles which do not have filled-in uniformed color, and those which do have it. Depending on your image, you may want to experiment to see which style does better. Also notice this particular filter adds more settings in the Basic tab, effectively doubling your possibilities at the minimum.
