　5, Chrome ( chrome yellow filter )

　　function: the image is processed into silver chrome yellow surface effect. The bright part is a high reflection point, and the dark part is a low reflection point.

　　Adjust parameters:

　　Detail: the degree to which control details are performed.
　　Smoothness: controls the smoothness of the image.
