"You want to use the outline technique for the vectorizer. And you want it to perform an overlay as opposed to also painting in a default background color for the canvas. So after selecting the outline technique (Generation control panel), then goto…"

"What part of the PASeq for the effect are you having trouble with? It's pretty simple. Drip some water on the canvas, do a slight fade to white, then overlay a vectorizer outline technique. Here's the correct link to the original…"
