Thanks, glad you like it.  It was a leftover from late May, one I thought was too redundant to bother with, but I kinda liked how the presets were looking, so I touched it up a bit and put it out there for all the metallic texture filter people to try out.

This filter has been updated. The update enhances the metallic/color a bit inside, and adds the ability to polish at any angle now. Below are some examples. The first example is the main preset, no angle, then 45*, then 90*, then 135*. You can also adjust the polish shift amount, but for these examples, I left the setting at 100, so that it is easier to see the angle effect.

I updated the example pictures with a freeway one I took, because hey, who doesn't get tired of mr. neon orange life preserver after all.

first one sort of gives a heavy rain effect where the next ones all remind me heavy snowstorms. If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

----It kinda does, I bet if it was blended with the original image it would look even better and a bit more rainy or snowy. /sales pitch ha-ha

yeah, you could blend it with the original. not sure you have to, though. that last one is really very close to a heavy snowstorm, including all the slushy tire tracks on the freeway. If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

----Well, there ya have it, I've apparently mis-named yet another filter ha-ha.  And not that anyone asked, but those 4 examples are all the first preset, just with a different *Angle Shift* setting.

The first one definately looks like a rain effect. Makes me think of Fall here. |

----I guess that's what I get for not trying my filters out on more than 1 or 2 pics, I had no idea it would be spotted as the rain/sleet/snow filter by everyone ha-ha, but hey, whatever works eh.

Why? It's great. It's like looking out of an office window on a rainy, but not dark day. I love the rain. | |||

----Oh I dunno, no reason, it's just with the non-texture filters that they can be used for so much, and I rarely think too far beyond naming it something since it has to have a name, and that's usually based on the first thing it reminded me of ha-ha.

----Yeah, I had'em kill the low usage ones, they mostly sucked anyways, and it frees me up to try and improve the average use ones and make a few more. I didn't wanna make 100 filters, or have 100 in the library, 54 already makes me look like I have no life ha-ha.

LOL..... Yikes!!! What does 160 make me look like???  LOL.....

----Well, no offense, but you are the guy with your name in the filter's names, for all I know you want to have 500 filters in the library and take great pride in having as many as you do. I simply don't feel that way myself (and obviously, I do not know that that's how you feel, I just suggested it based on available evidence eh), and don't want a bunch of garbage (well, it's garbage to me, since they are my filters, and since I do have quite a number of high usage ones) floating around that can't be helped. On that last note, I did manage to move 1 filter up from low usage to high usage, with no stops that I saw, in between, 1 out of about 20 or so that I tried to update and save ha-ha. But uh yeah, you having 160 doesn't mean you have no life, however, it would seem to indicate a bit that this (FF) might be your only hobby lately ha-ha.

Ah, I haven't submitted any new filters in quite a while.....usually submit a group of them, then take a month off
What did you do to get that filter to go from low to high??? Steve

----I made it not suck ha-ha, it was the "Sci-Fi Chainmail" or something one. Major redesign, and I even added the transparency option, something I hadn't before because I have no use for it personally. I recall posting a lot of examples, and spending a week off and on to fix it. I've spent that much time/effort updating other ones too though, and they sat in low usage hell, so I figured why not just remove them to make room for other people's stuff, and to give myself more of a chance to focus on improving the average usage ones that people like at least a little bit already. jffe Filter Forger |

jffe, you remind me of toulouse latrec (if my memory is serving me correctly here). he hated most everything he did. it was just 'never good enough'. he threw away more masterpieces he'd done than most masters ever painted. he tended toward heavy drink, was extremely self-invalidative, irritable, self-critical beyond belief and did some of the greatest work ever done (and probably hated those too). lol.
now i'm not gonna try to pump you up and say all your pieces are masterpieces, but do give yourself a little admiration every once in a while If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

----Ha-ha, I had to look him up (Lautrec apparently was his last name, but your spelling was close enough to get google to suggest adding the *u* ha-ha), wikipedia even had a picture of him. He was umm, really short, and a painter apparently. "After a life of enormous productivity (more than 1,000 paintings, 5,000 drawings, and 350 prints and posters), debauchery, and alcoholism, Lautrec suffered a mental and physical collapse and died at the age of 37." It doesn't really say anything about him being picky or whatever, but I think most people trying to make a living, well, having gone that far down the bunny hole at least, doing artsy crap, tend to be picky as a way of survival. If a person is prolific (and I am personally, and what follows is why ha-ha) they most likely both enjoy what they do, and have not much faith in their ability to sell it, or know what is going to sell. The picky part probably results from just not being able to tell out of all the stuff they've done, what is going to pay some rent, and at that point, they don't really care, because they already did what they wanted to do, and rent is an annoying footnote after thought ha-ha. ----All that said, I like a couple of my filters, I just can't see stopping to smell a bunch of roses, when there are so very many more to be planted eh.

----I don't really know much if anything about "art" really, historically or technically, I just have seen a lifetime of cheese (I lived through the 80's man), and I feel like the older I get the more I can tell what's crap from what's usable and/or artsy. And I think that kind of goes hand-in-hand with a person's own artistic endeavors, in that, it takes them half a lifetime or so, to get good enough to stop doing things that suck, and to maybe get onto doing the worthwhile stuff. The trick is not starving to death, dying/killing yourself in a fit of delusional pity induced madness, or simply saying screw it and getting a day jawb so that rent gets paid, new shoes can be purchased, and high speed internet connections can be had, and leaving any kind of creating behind meanwhile. I suppose having enough faith to see things through to some kind of markettable completion should be added to that list of barriers, mental or otherwise.
----You show me an organized/financially successful artist, and I'll show you an artist being told what to do/not to do 9,999 out of 10,000 times, and being edited left and right (as opposed to just doing their stuff and finding a buyer after the fact). But that may very well be the price you have to pay these days to get anywhere near doing "art" of some kind for a living. Personally, I'm trying to fit between what few cracks are left, work for hire blows, but licensing deals are rarer and rarer it seems (and pay less and less), so what can ya do. *shrug* jffe Filter Forger |

I have to agree with alot of that.....but I would like to think that I'm the 1 out of 10,000 artists who doesn't get editted I see your point though.....I have to somewhat conform to what sells......and most of the time it's controlled by collectors with money dictating it all by putting god-aweful artists up on a pedestal.....
