   In the settings window,
   Use the ‘Radius’ value to adjust the width of the outline between the colors,
   and the ‘Amount’ value to adjust the intensity of the sharpness. The higher the value, the more intense the contrast between the colors.
   Too many value will create excessive contrast, which cause the art look unnatural. So be careful (sometimes excessive contrast works well, though).
