Thank you, Dinasset. Nice Metallized Barcelona pic.

I continue enjoying this effect so nice.

I noticed that the outcomes look better when the source image has many colour values; after applying the WhiteBalance filter the source increased the number of colours (Colorcube analysis) from 58396 to 78740, and the outcome looks more pleasant (IMO)

To show what I mean I took another picture, and applied the same Metallizing effect before and after WhiteBalance.
Here the two outcomes:

I like better the 2nd one

Dinasset, you are right and the results are evident. :bigthup

Well, after additional tests it looks now to me that the enhancement on the outcome when some stretching mechanism is applied to the source image is a stochastic event: sometimes you get it, sometimes not (and I can't find a "rule").
So, while it could be useful to try, the enhancement is not sure .

Thank you Dinasset. It's only to try it. :tyspin

This wolf deserves a grayscale outcome

With a cityscape I had to play/combine to get something nice (the source subject influences a lot the results, more than expected: metallizing curves are a "special animal" to work with)

After the last one, I think I have to stop with this filter: despite of the positive comment got from Graechan as soon as released it is practically "ignored" by the chatters (except my friend Issabella), likely really a strange "beast" to work with...

Dinasset, you know we all enjoy your filters a lot.

I love seeing the metallize bright on the pictures after applying your filter. :hi5

...it sounds like a gentle use of "pluralis maiestatis" heheheh....
