Description
Chromium Electroplating is a technique of electroplating a thin layer of chromium onto a metal or plastic object. Althouhg in this case this filter applies a thin or thick layer or a bath of chromium to your images. –––You can control the level and amount of chromium using the Size/Pixels setting and have a thick layer or have waves of chromium over your image.–––Is VERY important the Directional Lighting as this can chnage very much the same image with the same settings.–––-You can make the chromium cover your image or make a hole in the image from it, depending on the inverting effect and also of directional lighting.––––Also apart you can change the shadows and lighting by changing the colors in the first settings––––-I recommend to use first one of the presets available and then after modify the settings from there–––-I want to give great thanks to:Redcap for Mercury Contamination filter and also to Jitspoe for Hard Shadows filter
