Subj: Another Composite Control Goodie 94-03-08 21:25:38 EST
From: KPT Susan
I discovered this quite by "accident" (oh, I looove these kinds of accidents! ;)
last night while working on an image...
When using Composite Controls to create an embossed look to a texture or a
fractal (select all, float, blur, emboss, composite control, luminosity,
adjust sliders in diff channels; If ya do it right, you can leave luminosity
at 100% for deep depthy look)....
Then, --here's the new part-- while the selection is still floating, go the the
Image>Adjust Hue... Dialog box and move the hue slider around. Very
interesting stuff... It can work to make your image more deeply or less
deeply embossed, and pick up new embossing in different areas. Tres Cool!!
(since you're working on the embossed image that's floating, you don't affect
the "gray" part, but the part where the emboss is defined.... Adjusting the
hue of it will bring out different emboss detail.)
I have only tried it with the one image, so I figure that the Hue adjustment is
dependent on the way that you tweaked the sliders in the Composite Controls
dialog, and the Composite Controls slider setting is dependent on the overall
color balance of the image, so this is territory to explore, not a one-slider
"get it the first time every time" sorta thang....
Have fun!
Susan
