thanks dana this is using the filter "shaded materials" from IMAGE TRICKS. i had to download it again after my computer was purged and the new version has a few new tweaks on it. i'd advise anyone who likes to "play" with their photos to download this software....it takes only minutes, is free, and tons of fun as well as being easy to use. i think that i went to www.imagetricks.com or some version of same to download it. there is also a pro version that i plan on getting.
in the words of a world famous philospher:
"I yam what i yam and that's all what i yam!"
