Seems Rodilius is also good at capturing details from shadows.

Does it make the coffee too ?

I need some!

Coffee that is.

That's a pretty good discovery, Rod. Quite useful.

To get the effect -
Open your image
Duplicate it
Run Rodilius with these settings


Now duplicate that layer place it on top,and set the mode to divide.
Set the Rodilius layer under it to soft light.
The original should be at the bottom.
Now play with the soft-light mode layers opacity settings to get the effect.

Incidentally just having the first top Rodilius layer in divide mode produces some interesting cartoon type effects.

Perfect! Just what I needed to figure out how to do it. Thanks for posting the explaination for everyone.

I see what you mean by the cartoony effect. Nice work Rod.
