Nice filter. Here's Mikhail Gorbachev. http://207.58.189.244/view-image.php?...e=&large=1

This is probably because of the way this filter works. Simply put, it runs through several thresholds combining the results via the multi-blend. If you happen to have a very contrasty image, this filter's "shaded medium colour" won't appear since the threshold works like a limiter. Hence, up until a certain parameter it may only shade certain areas. Err... so you switched two offsets to the newer ones? What else did you do to solve the issue? It seems like this filter is quite the same as its original. Not saying that's bad or anything, just I don't see how it's a solution to a problem you had.

It's not that the medium shade didn't appear. It appeared, but regardless of the checkbox it would not convert it to shading. I'm no expert at FF filter creation, so I can't tell you why that happened, but I can tell you that it really didn't work as the original author intended anymore. Something happened, for me at least.

I tried everything I could outside FF before resorting to editing it (I had no idea about this stuff as I said), but I couldn't get it working, so I opened it up in the editor, messed around, and in the end what I did was changed the multiblend to the new version (though this most likely didn't fix anything), then I also upd ated the 2 offsets to the new version, and modified the offsetY's a little bit (they both started with 0), the new Offse t seems to also have a finer tune, so that helped too.

But if you asked me what caused the old one to stop working... I wouldn't know, but you can try them both and see for yourself.

Just trying to help, not trying to steal credit or anything, I even put it in the description that I did nothing much
