Regular and recent GC visitors may have noticed my references to 'bubble glass e-maps' in some of my latest posts. I thought I might share these e-maps and have added a few comments on their properties.

1. The bubble glass e-maps are shown below and there is also a zip file below which contains them.
2. By their nature, the original bubbles are quite transparent, and therefore so are the e-maps.
3 Used with bevel Reflect Logo (BRL) they produce a variety of outcomes displaying some level of transparency.
4. Therefore their look depends either on the colour/pattern of the background layer beneath them, or the blend mode of any layer above them.
5. Used together, that is one outcome from one e-map on top of an outcome from a different e-map, using say Burn mode, they can deliver some quite beautiful tones.
6. As always experimentation is required to find results meeting your satisfaction.

Oh, you are so creative! I'm downloading them now! Thank you so much, OMG. Brilliant!

Pat - thank you; have fun.

Thought I would post an additional capability of BRL when using my glass or bubble glass e-maps.

Typically BRL works against a filled selection on a layer in Normal mode, with Opacity at 100%. This will produce curved, reflective outcomes based on the geometry of the selection.

However, it is possible to obtain flat, textured outcomes from BRL; the way I do it is firstly to run Filters<Decor<Fog with parameters Turbulence set to 5 and Opacity set to 80%.

Then run BRL (with selected e-map) against a target selection on that Fog layer, to obtain a flat textured, but still glassy, outcome as in the example image below.

Thank you very much OMG, It's quite a master class. Truly a mastery of glass texture.
I have saved them. Thanks a lot

Thank you OMG for the lovely e-maps and advice.

Issabella and Teapot - thank you for you kind comments; enjoy the bubble glass!

Nice one OMG. Thank you.

I was playing with your glass bubbles, OMG. Thanks again.

Thanks a lot! Gonna use it!

One more with your maps. This time I applied to butterflies. It's very subtle but they are transparent as you say.
