Stevie has a a few metallic emboss ones but if its a different method for getting the same effect thats good also

I really like it.....kinda like a metallic flake texture relief I don't think that it has been done. I made one like it for my own personal use, but I never submitted it.....for fear that any more metal filters would get me bannished for having a metal obsession..... LOL.....

Checked it out.....and works well.....good choice!!!

I know this feeling well.....I've been blinded by all the lightbulbs going off lately.....jumping all over the place to different filters.....and doing a good job of totally confusing myself most of the time. I usually end up starting a good filter idea.....then get sidetracked onto another idea before finishing the first....

Nice pic Craig!!! I like the bold detailed emboss effect....

Stevie,

LOL I hear ya.

The paints not dry on one filter project before another idea starts working for the next one.

I have 14 days left on my trial so ... I may only have 14 days left to share filters before I have to wait to afford the program. (Little girl needs glasses and summer clothes, house, mortgage, taxes and a travel visit to see Mom). ((Still on my 30 day trail- but I know filters and graphics so I pull from that knowledge when creating the filters)). FF has a layout with the components that make it very easy to find what you need. It's an amazing program.

Hi Kreallin,

I love the image!~ About the filter- similar to Flaming Pears Blade Pro now Super Blade Pro in that the effect depends on the image the application is applied to. I did try a red Holly Hock (from my yard last year) and noticed the effect for me was almost more like glass. I'll attach and you can see why I decided not to use it as an example image. However I'm thinking the effect may not work as well on red images. ((You made it work by shifting settings because your a pure genius,,, *wink*... but for the basic user red images may not work so well.

Also remember about this filter is that other filters like Ron Viers Lab Enhance work well on top of it.

Going to attach the Holly Hock - now I didn't play with settings because I was testing to see what the filter produces with straight presets (the testing phase). I believe it does have an application of Lab Enhance on top of the basic filter though.

(((Thanks for testing the filter out- it's gorgeous the way you have it on the Rose))).
