ReMake Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 This effect is based on the PS Emboss effect by @Cookies and is an improved version of it. You can find it in Effects -> Stylize -> Emboss+ Download from my PluginPack For comparison, I used a smaller copy of the image from the original post by @Cookies: PS Emboss result with default settings: Photoshop's Emboss result with the same settings as the PS Emboss: Emboss+ result with the same settings as the PS Emboss: A few more images to compare with the following settings: Angle - 135, Height - 10, Amount - 110. Original image: PS Emboss: Photoshop's Emboss: Emboss+: In my opinion, the result of Emboss+ is closer to the Photoshop Emboss result. 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxster4 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) I definitely agree @ReMake! I would love to see you release this officially after the testing period and any needed tweaks. 😀 Just a quick go at it. The colors 'pop' wonderfully when I put a black layer underneath and set the blending mode on the zebras to 'Glow'.

Reptillian Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) I just have to wonder how does the filter works. I couldn't figure it out myself. The height part particularly. Colors probably can be generated via Sobel technique. Great work though. Edit: Never mind - found this nice source though height part is something I don't get- https://softwarebydefault.com/category/code-samples/generics/ I bookmarked that.

TrevorOutlaw Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 @ReMake, I have to say, looking at the Photoshop's filter and your Emboss+ pictures, I'd say you managed to nail Emboss+. 2 Quote Paint.NET Gallery | Remove Foreground Object Tutorial | Dispersion Effect Tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDale Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Following on from @lynxster4 I executed the same technique to create this result. Top plugin @ReMake 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reptillian Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I tested it, it doesn't always seem to work with 100% or less with the contrast factor. I'm surprised it doesn't use convolution as I thought it would. 1 Quote G'MIC Filter Developer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMake Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 I'm not ready to publish the source code any time soon, because the effect still needs some polishing.
