This is the same base photo but with the first default preset which is much bigger and with less detail but also very beautiful for me.

This is the same setting of 245 sixe pixel photo as above but now enlarged at a bigger resolution to see more detail.

Is really amazing how many different color "paint chips" can the filter make using the base colors and creates an excellent textures resuming and taking the most important tones and uniform them toghether. Awesome.

Sorry, I could not resist to test this other here with this lovely filter with preset 5 default settings

very nice, fliptop

at least 3 like it !!

I really like this filter also, and see many uses for it.
Congrats b15fliptop!Very nicely done.

b15fliptop I want to tell you that you can´t judge and know how many people likes your filter ONLY COUNTING THE THANKS POSTS that are in this thread, because this would be totally untrue, because many users that could like it much also will not send a thank you here in the forum.

Your filter has been downloaded until today 220 times, so there could many more that like it than the ones that have posted here. You do NOT need to be registered in the FF website to be able to download filters, AND you are required to be registered and log in to be able to write in the forum.

So waht would be good probably is to have something like a "like" button inside filter forge in each of the filter that you have in your library and then FF when sends the Usage Stadistics, could also send the filters that have been "liked" or choosen as good and show this in the website in the filter´s page.

So please, do not feel that only a very few persons can like you amazing and lovely work because is not really true, you do not know it measuring the comments here.

Of course I encourage you to continue making more filters, that if others are as good as this one, you are a great author and filter maker !!!

SUGGESTION IDEA - CONFETTI PAPER FILTER

I have thought that probably it could be possible to make a variation to this excellent filter and would be to change the shape of the square paint chips, and make another similar filter with round circular chips, and it could be like conffetti, so you could have exactly the same effect as shown here but all round chips instead, and could look also beautiful.

And perhaps if you go beyond this, you could even change the square chips into triangles, or rectangles.

Here is a bad example of confetti texture, if it would be done by your filter it wuld look surely much better as with your filter DEPENDS and is based on the source image you choose.

This filter allows to change circles to squares, fix the size of each particle separatly, change color of dots, etc. By playing with controls, you can fix density, etc. Maybe tomorrow morning this filter could be in the filter library.

I wonder why will you create your first filter

I haven't downloaded your great filter yet because I wanted to thank you first for a great job. I'm sure that I will use it on lots of pics

Ghislaine, Please, I think that you should move all this beautiful and nice examples to your own thread of this filter so people could really see what it can do, and so is not mixed and overlaid with another very different filter that is the paint chips.

This threads belongs to the Paint chips and now you can´t know if the comments are for the paint chips filters or yours, please it would be good that you move them to your thread that is now available. Thanks very much.

Sorry if my comments about the "confetti filter" have made you put this here, but I did this only suggesting to change to shapes of paint chips filter and not to make a NEW one.

I think that perhaps it would be better for the FF team or moderators that you put a new thread on the "General Discussion" asking to delete this posts here as they probably will not see your note here, and also to delete after that thread that you have put this.

Sorry, I told you it was possible to modifiy, but I was wrong, it can ONLY be modified the last post of each thread.

Thanks GMM

Now that I have began learning about how to work with the filter editor, and start to understand what the components do and how to modify or add things, I have found a great thing inside this great filter.

Sometime ago I asked if it could be possible to make a Confetti version of this filter with rounded paint chips instead of square ones

Well, I have found that you can change the square shape into a circular shapes VERY EASILY. You only have to find the "Free Rectangle" component and change inside the settings.

To convert the square to a circular shape you ONLY need to change the "Corners" settings to 90 or 100.

Please the below screenshot

But there is more to customize and change

After this one above, after changing the corners and bevel width, I ALSO changed the Bevel (at the very end) drop down menu to "contour" and then changed the settings of X Y and I got beautiful rings

Here is the result below

And if you think that the frames are too small, keeping all the previous settings, you can make them bigger changing and modifying the X Y values and so you get bigger frames as seen below

So then after adding all this Slider controls you will have inside Filter Forge in the settings tab all the "free rectangle" component setting available in a very easy way WITHOUT having to go the Filter Editor.

Here is the NEW settings tab for the Paint Chips filter

In the previous page of this thread I suggested to have also star shaped confett as shown on this photo here (please click over the image to see it much bigger)



And after having experimented with square and circles, I knew I could also go beyond and change to a totally different shape, and I was not wrong as FF has the FREE POLYGON component also, and so if you replace the Free rectangle component with this Free polygon you have many more shapes, and one of them is stars !!!

And what about putting 24 sides tiny stars using the same Free Polygon component

This is a 3000x3000 high resolution detail image close up (showing only a part of the image) and uses also the 24 sides stars with contour bevel (hole inside)

Wow, Ray, you're really enthusiastic about this filter.

I think similar results could be achieved more easily with the polygon shape. I'll take a look at it tomorrow, and update the filter accordingly.

And also Red and white hearts
