The Shine option from the Custom Font Effects Only filter is one of my goto ways of quickly pimping up a custom font so I decided to make this a separate filter. I also wanted to occasionally add a sort of sheeny effect to custom fonts. This filter is the result - download, copy to your user plug-ins folder and look for Custom Font Sheen N Shine V0.001 form the Filters menu.

Be aware that if both Sheen Only and Shine Only are set to Yes then Sheen will take precedence. If you want to add bot options at once, Use Shine only with Add Sheen to Shine.

Thank you for a very useful script, Skinnyhouse. I also love the images so I know exactly the differences that were made. Thanks again.

Thanks Pat. It is quite a subtle effect but may be useful to folk.
