Do not confuse GEGL Metallic with GEGL Chrome. This thread is about GEGL Metallic. It is not a text styling filter on its own.

Too learn more about the filter that branched from GEGL Metallic (GEGL Chrome) see here.

GEGL Metallic now has the ability to invert the original image with a slider that only has on and off settings.

This plugin got a huge update.

1. It now has a color overlay mode.

2. It has a liquidify slider that makes the metal liquid-ish or smoother.

3. It now has alt graphs that make even better gold, though they have limited editable properties.

DIRECTORY TO PUT BINARIES

**Windows**

C:\Users\(USERNAME)\AppData\Local\gegl-0.4\plug-ins

**Linux (Flatpak includes Chromebook)**

Remember, this filter is intended to make people and objects gold, not text. But it will work if applied to a bevel; but not plain text.

Little late to the party, Contrast_; impressive stuff.

Metallic when fused with the LCH Lightness, Luminance or HSV Value blend mode (in Gimp) with a few other things can make a glass person.

I cannot turn all of this into a filter because certain steps; such as talking to Gimp layers below cannot be automated in GEGL. The theory of making a person glass is NOT the same as making text glass and vice versa.

Huge breakthrough in GEGL plugin development. (PRESETS SHOULD RARELY BREAK)

I figured out how GEGL Plugins can update without breaking presets by putting the updated code in the drop down list and optionally making the updated code run at start up. That way the legacy code is still in the filter; thus presets don't break and plugins that need this filter will work with either version (old or new).

If you don't update, all filters that use this plugin will be fine.
If you do update, all filters that use this plugin will be fine.

A WIN WIN!

Metallic is the only filter of mine that does this; because none others have have potential breakable updates yet. Notice how the drop down list says "Oct 2023"? That is the updated version, and you can always switch back to the classic version.

Now let me explain, one last thing about metallic. In this case it is set to use legacy mode in default but you can switch to the new Oct 2023 mode and if I wanted I could choose to hide and remove the legacy mode or label it legacy. I didn't do that though, but I know how. So it is possible in the future my plugins will update without a drop down list to go back to an older version.
