Filter Details

Description

This is a filter which allows you to "carve" an outside image into smooth, marble-like stone. If instead you want plain, flat stone, check "Abstract," set "Abstract Detail" to 0 and "Abstract Amount" and "Abstract Smoothing" to 100.

This is an upgrade of one of my early filters. I've streamlined the composition some and created more variations in the carving – most noticeably, you can now create a very abstract carving with hard edges. I've deleted "Colour Remap" and "Complex Veining," because I thought they were just taking up space. I also got rid of "Pattern Tweak," because you can do the same thing using the "Variations" slider at the bottom of the controls palette.

Controls of Note:
Abstract: If you DON'T check Abstract," you will get a photo-realistic carving. The "realistic" controls affect the texture only if "Abstract" is NOT checked, and the "abstract" ones only work if it IS checked.

Have fun!
