Foxxee's Leafy Canopy ll by Foxxee

I like how this turned out and that it can be applied over a picture. I would want to have this as a tube so I was wondering if you would add the switch to make the background transparent when saved, please.

Download one of my tube filters and you will see the switch and image components and how they are hooked up.

I just looked at one I have and to get the life preserver to show you need to have a minimum of 3 selections on that switch with the image component being one of the options. So, one would be transparent, two could be with the image, and three could just be a color for a background.

Let me make a little sample filter for you.

Ok, thanks for this... it will come in handy

If you have tried this inside Leafy Canopy yourself (please do if you haven't) there is something that I noticed that is lost in the change, and that's the textural depth my leaves have before adding your little Transparency filter.

What the problem is, I think, you used a Simple Filter Result whereas I use the Surface Filter Result that give me the added texture to the leaves. Your Simple Filter Result does what you want it to but it also removes the texture of the leaves. Though I tried to use your Transparency filter with my Surface Result window intact the lifesaver then becomes grainy.

Have you checked that out yet? I can't seem to get that removed while fiddling around with your Transparency filter

I think I might have found a way to get what you want and what I want with your Transparency filter in place.

Instead of Image for position 1 on the Switch I put the color Black there.
My final Chaff image that originally was connected to the Surface Filter Result I have now moved to position 2 on the Switch, and following that the color White on the 3rd position. This seems to work just fine for me, it keeps the texture of the leaves and the image is as it should be, untouched by the filters.

Try this and see. If you can use it this way I'll resubmit my filter with this change so you and others can use it more easily

Nice leaves, but -- this filter takes forever to render, even on a dual-core machine!
