There is no way of doing the chrome filter on a transparent background is there? I want to be able to see through the solid color parts of the shape so I can see my smokey background. I tried putting a black background before the shape, and also tried that plus merging those tow together and cutting out the black, it did not look so good.

@ xMetroidn1fx You might be able to do the chrome filter and then cut out the black with the magic wand tool

I said I already did that, but, it did not look so good. How come you can't do it on a transparent background?

[ChChCheckItsClan]

I really don't know to be honest. Just how the filter works i guess =/ And if that didn't look good, then try doing the effect and going to Channels (next to the Layers tab) and Ctrl+Click the RGB Channel. That should select all of the white, so make a new layer and fill it with white. That might do the trick =)

@terzis28 Shortcuts and Hotkeys work differently on Macs than PCs. On a Mac, just substitute the Cmd key for Ctrl and switch Opt with Alt. So a shortcut on PC like Ctrl+E would be Cmd+E on a Mac. So for your issue you'd need to use the Option key with shift instead of Alt. Hope this clears things up! =)
