Chalk and Charcoal filter applied.[View full size image]CharcoalThe Charcoal filter does much the same thing as the Chalk and Charcoal filter, but uses only the foreground and background colors. It'smore difficult to control because there are only two colors. Experiment until you are satisfied. It helps if you beef up the contrast in theimage, especially if there's detail to bring out.ChromeThe Chrome filter appears to be a close relative to the Plastic Wrap filter described previously. It's only slightly more successful. As youcan see in Figure 15.30, it's not really chrome-like. Perhaps, as my editor suggested, it's closer to looking into a choppy ocean of mercury.The Chrome filter removes the color from the image as part of its process. It also adds a large amount of distortion, as you can see. Thisfilter is more useful on type.
