@Skinnyhouse

A very interesting and versatile plugin for the metal effect.
A lot of options (I have tried probably 1% for now).
Understandably, it was created for Custom Font and when the layer name is not a letter, this is a message:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'first_char_layer_name' referenced before assignment

Hence the request:
- generic version (Alpha to Logo) for any layer name,
- save the settings used in any option: as a new layer, as a txt file (e.g. like Apply and Save/Load Preset Script for Layer Effects by TT)

Thank you M.

Yes, as you say, it is only intended for Custom Fonts and I was hoping that no-one would look under the hood before the next version so that I could tidy up the rather wasteful code.

It was created, with the smaller character image size in mind, and so I am not sure about its effectiveness when working with larger images - ie banding, artifacts etc. I normally rename any non-character layer to custom font convention e.g. A.png if I want to use a custom font plug-in for other purposes - but a suitable option is quite feasible. Not familiar with TTs text file presets although I did use something in my Lighting Effects custom font plug-in - so I will have a look when I get a chance.

Thank you for the quick reply.
It's always worth waiting for a good plugin (even for a long time...).

One for you MareroQ:

This seems to work on the active layer - not tested it much - in non-custom font mode if you set the last option to No.

No probs.
Although I have just found and sorted problems with the verdigris texture with the active layer option.
In your version it works correctly only when a texture layer is above the active layer in the layer stack.
