Bombs Away Multi Images by CFandM

WOW!!! YEESSSS !!!! Finally your bomber filter of multi images is available in FF 3.0 !!!!

I can´t make any more comment now as I will have to try it and see what results I can get, but I wanted to give my congraulations and thanks you very much for making this awesome filter, that can be VERY USEFUL AND INTERESTING !!!!!!

Pleasy anymore hints and tips on how to get the best results ?

What resolutions would it be best for the source images ? I want it to be high resolution result (4000 x 5000)

I know that to get the best results the images used would be much better if they have a transparent background and are not with squared borders.

I will see how it works and then I will comment more

Thanks a million again for making this filter. I really love it. (well from I have tested from the previous beta version that you have put before in the forum)

Use one of the frame filters to create a frame like the one posted....Or create your own frame....Then use this as the "Main Image" in the filter....Then load the image you want for a frame in "Top Layer Image" Now select to view only the Main layer then position the Main Layer where you want..No select to view only the "Top Layer" then you should see your new image frame.....You might have to use the populate and repeat sliders to gather more images in one spot......
Heres the frame I used for the Main Image..

noice!

Thanks Craig.... Find those glasses yet..
Yep Carl its the Swiss army knife...

Hello CFandM

Very nice filter, your Bombs away Multi images

I have replied to your comment on my metallic frame yesterday. I do not knoe if you have read, but I was talking about a new filter that I worked on. Multicolor dots. Finally, I will share this filter with the community. The filter is in the mail, so check the postman tomorrow morning I mean that I have submitted the filter and I think that it will be in the library tomorrow.

For the first time I used Bomber component, I think that the result is good enought. You will see that I have applied THE LESSON. Sure you know what I'm talking about.

Thanks very much for your hints and tips for your filter

WOW !!!! I can´t believe this is true!! If you have put the ability to mask the images following a mask this is a really amazing option and idea, and very useful for making different kinds of creative works.

SO this would be similar then to what Shape Collage can make with shapes and filling ?

examples --> http://www.shapecollage.com/collages

Shape collage software uses black and white masks to fill the black with multiple images and leave out white areas ¿ does your filter work in the same way ?

If this is true, then I will rise much more my thanks to you for this wonderful filter.

Then from a silhouette of a bust of a man..This is only one image to load into the filter so far but will be adding the spot for more....

Hello, again

I have just beginning to use and test this lovely filter, and if I thought at first it was very well done, now after using it and have seen how it works and the great potential it has and how very well thought and very well constructed and the controls that it has I think that IS MUCH MORE AWESOME AND WONDERFUL than what I first thought and imagined. and this is only without having trying it with masks !!! and had only made 2 examples !!

Great that you can have the design designed in layers and that you can view each layer separately or toghether so is easier to define and choose the best setting.

Also very good that you can test the filter in low resolution as defined in the preset and then you can choose "New image" and choose the final size resolution you would like and the filter will resize all the design to the new resolution (well this not only happens in this filter)

Here is attached one I have done

Now after seeing better how it works and the masks feature I think that I will raise my thanks to you to 3 millions instead !!

VERY IMPORTANT WARNING THAT HAS NOT BEEN SAID FOR FF 3.0 PLEASE, SAVE A NEW PRESET IF YOU CHANGE THE IMAGES TO YOUR OWN Be aware that once choosen one preset and changed the images inside you can´t change to any other preset and keep your base image as it happens in FF 2.0 because, there is NO base image here in this filter, and is it happens in FF 2.0, the preset setting depends on the images built-in inside the preset. If you choose one of the presets and change the default images with your own choosen ones, YOU MUST save this as a preset BEFORE choosing or changing to any other preset because if you do not save, you will loose all your images and will be replaced by the default images that are already built inside the preset and will override any previous setting as usual with presets. Also even if you do not want to keep the image settings is good to save it if you have an FF error and it closes, or if you want to try and compare different presets, or whatever, you can always delete it after, but you are sure you have it saved as a backup. Please, if there is another way that can this be done and I do not know and I am not aware of, just put it here. Thanks

Thanks Again Spaceray for the examples and the ideal..
Some great examples...

Here is a higher detailed view of the above image, and I have seen that there is probably a bug or an error in the filter, because when I apply the black frames in the top layer the get CUT on two of the borders !!! All the other layers are perfectly square and keep the full frame but on the black frames fr om the top layers, cut the thin white frame.

The black frames I have put in the bottom layer are perfect and do not get cut.

I have put some white arrows to show wh ere can be seen that there is missing part of the thin white frame.

Nope no bug or error...
I have used your screenshot fr om above and marked on it "A" and "B".....To get rid of that and show all of that image use the slider marked "A" or "Layer Preview"..I don't know which layer is getting cut off but use that slider until you only see that layer....As I have posted in the filters info....
#1...All the layers composited together.....
#2...Main Image....
#3...Top Layer.....
#4...Middle Layer..
#5...Bottom Layer..

Once you have just that layer showing use the dials marked "B" or "Layer Offset X and Y" for that layer to move the image horizontal and vertical...This should bring the image back to wh ere its not cut off.....You can also take that image and shrink it some in a graphics app and reload it......
