Wow Carl really nice filter. Love all the varieties this one produces. Great job.

Thanks Morgantao, with the right pic and combination of controls, anyone with a good eye can make something creative and unique

Mardar we have talk about getting rid of your husband

Gene love your pumpkin and fantastic that both you and Ghislaine took the filter in your own directions and explored possibilities that hadn't/wouldn't have crossed my mind

Gene I hope the attached clears up your question

WOW!! Beautiful examples you have put here !! Congratulations.

This a great and awesome, beautiful, wonderful and very artistic filter and well done so it deserves to win one of my own SA Awards

I think that this filter ALSO deserves an EP from FF Inc.

With the high level of the examples above I have to make one that shows really the excellence of this filter, and here it is below.

Great and original name to a great filter

How do you thought about giving this name to this filter ???

Have you been romancing the gorilla at the zoo or what ?

and here is the original right part so you can compare it with the source and what beautiful artistic strokes this filter makes

Gene, your pumpkin image is amazing!
It really looks like something that belongs in an art gallery.

And SpaceRay, that is so cool! Very nice example of how a cityscape can become art.

I have to asy, this filter keeps on delivering

Carl ... the deck scene surprised me. It impresses me even more what the filtered exampled looked like. The example looked so SyFy to me like folks standing on a grate over the infinit hole through the center of the earth, but I knew Captain Jack never wears sandals. (Sorry for the obscure reference to BBC America)

And here is the same as above but with frame black and white background

Great city render SpaceRay and I particularly like your chinese pic Mardar

It has a bit of a time warpy thingy happening Gene, if it's the captain jack [ I like it both ways ] that I think your refering to, than there is no good on the other side of the time warpy thingy

SpaceRay the name came from the thought,that the filter can generate soft smooth cuddly "Romantic" results and all the way to the other extreme of rough messy scrawly paint work much like I imagine a Gorrilla would paint, I didn't say it was a sane thought

SpaceRay I thought it was a great idea having a border and I have upd ate the filter with border options [ refresh to see new default ], [ credit given ] more style options and also a range of 12 toning options that have a better range of dark and light, which replace the single choice of pastel toning [ pastel se tting is still included ] which will stop any over dark results.

Thanks Craig, hope you take the filter out for a test drive

Can't leave without another example, with the Spaceray border option

Carl! Fantastic update!
Now it'a even better!
More spectacular and creative examples by SpaceRay, Gene and Mardar!

Thanks for the update. I have seen that the new border option gives MORE than a border, because if you turn on the border appears MORE TEXTURES generated by the filter inside the main image

So it would even be useful to activate the border although you are not going to use it, you could crop out it after.

Here I show what I am talking about with two examples.

This below is the original photo that has a plain white background.

And the border ALSO can help to make a better composition and make it nearly invisible if you use shader value 0 and border 5.

Here is a photo without any border added

[B]I STILL FIND TOO DARK COLORS ON SOME PHOTOS[/B]

There is still no way to control the brightness or the white point to lighten the results if it is too dark.

I am sorry to say that I still find than on some images I have tried it STILL gives dark and unwanted colors transformations that could be solved easily if there was available a brightness or levels controls.

The Style or Toning Choice does not help to make them brighter KEEPING the same textures and effects.
