In search of a virtual polariser :D

[2jamesl]

Does anybody know of a polariser photoshop plug-in? I would really like to create the effect in my images for example i have seen some car images floating around with an almost 'oily' effect on the headlights, it also removes reflections which i like the sound of and was curious to know if i could create the effect on the computer.


Many thanks

I seem to remember someone telling me that the only filter that photoshop can't replicate is the polariser. I could be wrong though.

I got told of a way to replicate some of the features of a PL filter, a mix of shadow/highlights, hue saturation and contrast, not sure how much of a help that is, if any, but its something i got told a while back.

Typical and its the only filter i would like!

I think the Kodak P880 does have a polariser which you can purchase although i am not sure, I'd much rather replicate the effect than spend hard earned money on it. From what i can see it isn't worth the purchase.

Thanks both for your input

you can't replicate it, at least not the important bit. You can make your sky darker and bluer, but that's about it
