Lacquer

Lacquer is a plug-in filter for Photoshop and other paint programs. It produces shiny, glittery, glossy, sparkly results from nearly any image, with results that range from metallic to resinous to wet to weird. Lacquer builds a 3D surface from the brightness of an image and then lights this surface in several ways that you can control, tweak, and randomize.
