xanthi Posts: 5 Filters: 7	Hallo everybody and good evening (at least in Austria, where I am), I am new in filter creating and after I saw this great community here, I dare to ask for help in an issue, I can't fix myself. I am trying to make a magnifying glass filter get ugly shadows with hard edges on some parts. I posted a screenshot of the filter here, but I saw, some people posted the filters directly. I could not figure out how to do that. If someone can tell me how to post filters, i will do that. I really would appreciate, if someone could give me some advice.

Stupid things happen to computers for stupid reasons at stupid times!

Put in a threshold and adjust your caussian for the 2 to match. Anyway other may suggest better ways visit http://www.carlrolfeart.com/

xanthi Posts: 5 Filters: 7	Thank you so much Carl and Totte! So there are two entirely different ways to do it. It already looks great in your version, Totte. I had not even discovered the alpha slider yet. I want to add some detail now and beautify it a bit.
