You know, when I downloaded this filter I though it would only work for dark images, but I was so wrong!

The Original



Film Noir Version



Very cool effects!

genie, you could maybe mix that with one of the flame filters and you'd have a pretty good 'dark mistress' image there

WOW, this last 2 examples look very darkly beautiful and interesting, very well done

Great update Carl. This filter has more mood than a Bogart movie. Pictures just pop out at you with this applied. Good job!

Nice effect on photos!

low is such an ugly word

Hang in there Carl. We are all in the same boat. (Mardar patting Carl on the head for comfort)

wow really nice examples....... your a bit of a sweetheart Mardar

Can't get quotes to work anymore. Any way " I don't know why this filter hasn't gone HU " - The original filter [ FF 1 ] to be quite frank was a bit lame and never worked the way I wanted it to [ check out Film Type 10 for the original look ]. This FF 3 version is hugly expanded, and totally redesigned with a variety of film types, filmframe, aging etc - giving far supior results and far more usabililty. Whether something that is low can come back fr om the dead is yet to be seen.

A side note: I noticed that you mentioned that the images that you've [ rightly ] used are copyright free for non-commercial use, there are many scources available for c/f pics. I personnelly use either copyright free or my own pics. It is disappointing to see a slew of copyrighted images being used in the forum of late, not only is it morally corrupt to ignore others copyrights, it is illegal and can lead to legal action against the posters and FF [ which with in there own guidelines for forum use is not to use copyrighted material without consent, but as there is obvious breeches that they have not policed they are also liable ]. Harmless some may say, but wh ere do you draw the line, if it's acceptable to ignore the owners right in this way, what isn't acceptable to the forum members who use others work without the rights to do so.

Attached is another sample > preset 2 > projector glow on 8 > scratches off ........ one of my own pics

Well, I have told above that I used the first default WITHOUT changing any preset and is true, BUT I have unchecked the frame option as it is not working right in this one as you can see here below, and also unchecked also the lines scratches.

And also you can combine filters, I mean that first you can render the it using this great filter and the resulting image filter again with another filter.

For example I made this below first with this filter and then after I have used this as source for the great and lovely crackles from Crackle Snippet by Indigo Ray

This shows even more age to the photo

Carl, I agree there's some problematic issues with using copyrighted work without concent. It's something that is troubling artists all over the world these days, with the internet being the internet

I don't know exactly who came uup with this "law" or how legal this really is, but In most places it's considered your own work if you change the original enough. The question is, what's enough means...

FOR COMMENTING ON THE COPYRIGHT TOPIC

I have made another interesting and useful thread to take this out from the Film Noir comments filter page

This is a really HUGE topic and involves LOTS of things, and think that it deserves it´s own thread. Please for more information about this look at the second post.

It would be good to make your comment in that other thread.

Thanks

Mardar I love birds with there freedom their colours and markings, makes humans look pretty bland .......

...... ok fish are pretty cool too

Mardar I agree all creatures and plants are fantastic and beautiful in their own ways and the rare things free for everyone to enjoy. ...... yep pics are mine, not sure what type of fish, the shot was taken at a eccentric place in the middle of nowhere Queensland, where a mad spaniard built around the 1900's a strange cross between a villa and a castle and scattered buildings amongst the rainforrest, he also built his own hydra plant running the power ........ unfortunatly the place has decayed and hit by floods several times, trying to remember the name of the place.

Duck pic from same place

fountains

Carl you're not boring me in the least. Your pictures and story behind them is fascinating. What a lovely place this must be. Even in decay it looks gorgeous. And the added mystic of a mad Spaniard building it would add to the joy of the visit. My hubby and I love these kind of places. We hit every museum, forest, and old historic building we have time and money to get to. We haven't the resources to travel very far fr om home, but sometimes your own back yard can be a wonderful place if you take the time to really look. There is beauty every wh ere if you slow down and just enjoy. Thanks for sharing.
