Crosshatch or Photoshop Crosshatch adds an overlay of fine straight lines in an X creating a hatching texture. Its parameters are stroke length, sharpness, and strength.

It differs from the Angled Strokes filter which uses the image colors for its lines and Dark Strokes which creates a rich, higher contrast effect. Crosshatch uniformly applies hatching over the original image to create a texture on the original image.

Crosshatch works on 8 Bit, RGB (red, green, and blue), grayscale, and Multichannel images, and Smart Objects. This filter is part of the Filter Gallery, and launches another window with options.

Crosshatch is part of Adobe Photoshop's Extended Filters.
