So we can guess what we'll get as a result. 25, let's see what happens when we change to. You can change this amount here so instead of. And the result, notice it only takes a second for the iCloud change, but it does change, double click on it and there is the ASCII Art. Now we'll get all black characters there. Let's pick black as a color instead of green. Also Override Color, so it's going to override the color there and put this color in it's place instead. It's going to ask for an amount and we'll play around with those settings and see what we get. So let's change to ASCII Art here and see what we've got. There's a lot of other cool filters you can play around with. I'm going to delete this and change to ASCII Art. Here's the original and it has applied that filter to it. Now when I look at the copy I can see it has applied that filter. I'm going to drag and drop it onto the filter and it's going to create a copy here on the desktop. Let me hit Save again to make sure this is updated with the latest and I'm going to drag and drop an image to it. Now I already have it set here to the Default which is going to create this nice effect here. You can see here at the top it says Application receives files in folders as input. You can see it appear here and the great thing about having an Automator workflow that's an application is now I can drag and drop files to it. I'm going to save it as ASCII Filter on the desktop as File Format Application. I'm going to set it to desktop so anything that I use with this it's going to make a copy on the desktop and then it's going to apply this quartz filter to it. So I'm going to agree with that and hit Add. In other words, don't just process the image and save it but actually make a copy of it and process the copy. It's going to suggest that I make a copy of the photo first. I'm going to choose the one Apply quartz Composition Filter to Image Files. There are several different actions here that have quartz in them. I'm going to search for it by looking for quartz. Now I'm really only going to use one action. Actually I'm going to make it an Application so I can use this to drag and drop later on. If you don't know what that is you're going to find out in a second.
