In this tutorial we'll cover how to change a picture's view using High Pass and Dye Concentration and other effects to render marble into metal. Tutorial Includes project files.
I'll use this photo of a marble carving.

The first step is to open up Highpass and select Gaussian set to about 80%.

Let's apply the same filter set to Circular at 16%.

In this step apply Dye Concentration set to Image Luminance with a Max 20% and Min to 390%.

Select Highpass again and choose Gaussian set to 11%.

And Highpass again set to Circular 4.25%.

In Dye Concentration choose Image Luminance set to Max 20% and Min 370%.

With dark red selected, select Place Elements, hit OK, let it run for a second and then press the Spacebar.

Apply Surface Texture with the settings below.

Then use Brightness/Contrast to adjust the lighting.

We've made a marble sculpture look like metal.
