Both are very simple with very few controls
Anyway in case you prefer more controls just let me know, i may add easily if requested

Metallic Grain

Add a metallic grain,adapt for pictorial or special effect to the image
Basically run a preset of the new Samj metallic filter and merge the result with the original in softlight mode

After a bit of testing i decided to radically modify o Metallic Stencil (it will have a new name too ) the differences will be :

1)option to chose between 5 "Metallic type":
