The default look is excellent, but the rest of the presets are less impressive. Other than that, good work.

hmmm, 'embryonic', 'car incident' 'jellyfish'... when i first saw it, i thought, 'melted glass' or maybe 'runny nose' and i agree with vlad, i'd see if i couldnt do more variations on just the default and expand that one look a bit.

hehehe, go for it

I tried adjusting this filter, and I didn't like what I got. It is remaining as it is for some time because I like it the way it is, if you can make it better or different (anyone), and wnat to, go for it.

I like them. They look like finger marks on steamed glass.

Ah, slipped by me too.....but I joined up after you first submitted it.....so I have an excuse Cool filter.....glass is awesome

I like the previous samples much better. I hope you will make these last ones a seperate filter. I really want the steamy windows one and this one.

A couple more examples, with color.

The new filter, "Graffiti Stripes", has been submitted. I'm still on the fence about updating Embryonic Blur, it's ranked fairly well as it is. I might just give it a while and see if it creeps up by itself, then if hits HU, just offer anyone who wants it the new version via email, and not update it officially or submit a new filter (lord knows I've got enough filters in the system, I'm trying to cut back, really ha-ha).

LOL

The second set of samples looks like a stamping filter... eye candy has a similar one I believe.

I like the name Graffiti Stripes for the third sample!! My first thought when I saw those samples.. was... 'Tarzan'... (chuckle)... I like Graffiti Stripes better...

Here's a thought... maybe a filter description update.. or adding color to the frost, leave the pattern and effect unchanged??? That way the filter gets some new twists and also gets to rotate back in for some 'attention'. Could just be users are missing it in the line up... and also... a color to control the frost color 'could be something they are waiting for'... I can only speculate on what users want,,, I do give it thought and try to think from their perspective (the users)... not sure if I'm correct but I did want to throw the ideas out there to you.

About making another filter as a goodie package with a different name... that's a great idea!!! You could drop the ffxml in this comment thread and the User Gallery... Excellent idea!

Beware, this update has all new preset, and the old looks cannot really be achieved with it. Your best bet, if you want both, is to just add an underscore or V1 to the end of the name of the original. Right click on the filter in your library list, select *Locate Filter*, and just rename it "Embryonic Blur_" or "Embryonic Blur V1", then close FF, and reopen it before downloading the update, then you can have both versions.
