de-gradient the stained glass filter

[nelsonmason]

In my ongoing search to find a cobblestone pattern that I can use for my project I stubled upon the stained glass filter. I appears to give a perfect outline with only white stones (I need this to send a clean image to a laser), but when I looked closer, I saw a gradient going from white to black. I tried a grayscale and didn't get anywhere. I would love to have this in black and white (white stones) to be able to manipluate in size and thickness for bricks to be used in O scale.

Did you try turning the Light intensity to 0 (zero)?

[nelsonmason]

if you take the intensity all the way down the it becomes solid. If you go all the way up, you just move the gradient to the outside.

Make your main color the Background color in the Tools panel and experiment with using different grey colors for the Foreground color in the Tools panel while having the Light intensity set to zero.

In Photoshop, where is the Stained Glass filter?

Stained Glass is a built-in filter in Photoshop that can be found in the Texture area of the Filter Gallery. However, it is essentially a one-trick pony, producing a completely unconvincing mosaic effect that has nothing in common with actual stained glass.
