Edgeworks
Works to bring out the edges in a picture.
Edgeworks is a filter to create lines. OK, it just takes the current picture and then takes the difference and then adds the original back in - in varying degrees of intensity. The effect is to create lines or edges. The filters offers the options to modify how the line is worked out, how the line and the parts not related to the line are generated. The filter also offers an option to change the direction of the 'light' is applied.
Please note that some of the controls have multiple purposes - the prime purpose is indicated. Also note that some of the controls will have no effect such as the X and Y if the (*) has not been set to on. Some of the options in the dropdowns use the X Y, or if no inverse option is set then the () will be ignored. Also note that the preview might not match the end result - especially if the setting is at less than 25% or so - to get a 99% accurate view of the end result please set the preview to 100%.
X - x coordinate. This is generally used by the spotlight (*). The spotlight applies the (*) factor to the current effect. By setting it to 0,0 the effect will be strongest in the top left corner - as you move the settings the spotlight will change position. Once the spotlight is past the edge of the picture the spotlight will just get brighter and brighter until it either obliterates the picture or completely darkens the picture (in most cases).
