3d Chrome It - Part 2

I continue ahead with my 3D embossed experiment. Its a personal computer project, with many months, weeks, hours looking for the right combinations.

If I knew how to draw, I would probably accomplish the same thing in hours - but I can't ! - my bad.....

Some folks have expressed their likes and dislikes in these regards, and appreciate all their time and comments.

Obviously for me, its a work in progress. As stated before, some photos perform better than others.

The process is NOT meant to be used on a BAD PHOTO as some may have interpreted. It is simply an effect that MAY embellish an otherwise regular photo.

To better explain this rationale, please compare the before and after effect to better appreciate the difference. The original photo below was OK but common.

Today I thought I would actually place a before and after photo with the process in place. Many filters have been applied, dodging, burning, layers, rendering, ETC

Hopefully, buyers will eventually determine their worthiness in the open market.

UPDATE: I just brought up the light by the window !
