This filter is meant to demonstrate how to make a chiseled emboss effect, similar to those commonly used w/ photoshop. Intention is that you would be using a source image similar to the one below:


Which the snippet turns into something like:

Very nice! You should add options to use selection, alpha or brightness as input too. The brightness channel is the lightest of the R, G and B channels and can be obtained directly via Extract HSB.

+2 Could get alot of high usage filters out of this by adding the curve work to create shapes like above.....

I'd thought of this just as a snippet-for-demonstration-purposes, but yeah, it would be easy enough to add a switch for the different types. ThreeDee also suggested doing it so that the input selection forms the base of the bevel, and the input image is visible behind it.

What I like about this technique is that it is SO much smoother and nicer looking than the cheesy-by-comparison photoshop method.

the default looks great, but what's up with #5, 6, 7 and 8?
If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

IIRC, they are changes to the tone curve and the offset radius... which might only look good if your source image is wide enough.

Actually, looking at it again, I think those might have been added by whom-ever reviews submitted filters. Im pretty sure I didn't make that pink one.

But, it's all good. Just a snippet.

Come again? Are the presets auto-created somehow, if you don't put a full complement of 8 in?

BTW: I should also give props to ThreeDee, who essentially figured out how to do this, I just simplified the blurs a bit and made it a snippet.

Check out other ways to do this over at this post: http://www.filterforge.com/forum/read...0&TID=5666

I don't think so......I know of some filters that only have two or three presets.....but they might have changed it to self-generate the eight..... smile:|

Yeah, all presets get automatically tiled upon submission to the library.....so you've gotta check to see what will happen to them tiled if you care about them..... smile;)
