just some odd images here and there

That's really nice!!! It would surely go HU.....

I just paid my respects.....

i've been reworking several filters. this is 'ghost rider' reworked quite a bit.

i like it, too and yes, some interesting things come to mind from this. i've simplified the entire filter and made it display a smoother result. i didnt like the noise so much on the original.

...

You're on the "cusp" of it.....just gotta put it all together.....

As your "pro bono" manager it's my duty to "hone" and "consolidate" the best of your filter work towards the direction that will yeild the most profitable results.....and then I can start getting my 20% commission manager's fee..... LOL.....

Take a good look especially at sample #1 (woman portraiture).....looks quite similar to effects that you've already created, eh???

Now add your "highpass" effects with the canvas and painting work that you've just done.....and viola!!! You've got quite a useful filter series that is really limitless for where you can go with it.....

It's my job to bug Vlad.....it's a dirty job.....but somebody has to do it.....

I haven't submitted a filter in well over a year and a half anyhow.....already have more reward points than I'll ever need (and still getting more of them).....but I have stayed on participating in the forum with my humble opinions and critiques because I need this program to be successful and enhanced....and I like alot of the people (like you) who are still here.....

I don't have any incentive to contribute filter works anymore (like many others).....but I would if Vlad gave me some further incentives.... *cough* Author Storefronts *cough* 8bf Simple-Result Plugin Creator *cough* Host Program Rewards *cough* ....I seem to be coming down with a cold or something lately.....

ok, i had this brilliant idea and scrapped the entire re-write of ghost rider. i built a new one, MUCH simpler and pretty good. it's a fog/steam/mist/vignette type using a frame. i dont like the transition the frame component does from outer to inner to contents, but, it's not too bad. it does leave a bit of a discernable ring in the transition i'd like to get rid of. but, oh well.

i call this my pea soup frame

hi carl,

oh, i've always been a romantic

i like the shapes idea, but would be hard to do as it is. it uses a frame component. now, i could probably re-work it without the frame, but i like the frame for some parts of it, so not sure. but, i could get rid of it for the reason of the hard circle line showing so badly. i'd like more of a smooth gradient there where it transitions between the outer frame and inner. i did another portrait pic with this filter and i found if i treated the image before running it through the filter, i could minimize that line, but that's just not very elegant. at any rate, we'll see. i'm not done playing with this one yet.

Ditto for me as well Stevie..Except for the submitting part. I just can't help myself I need that FF-AA.....

You could turn it into a frosted glass frame sort of look to it..
I do like the idea of the shapes thou..

ok, time for a little showing off of junk i've been working on. with the exception of the first two i'm posting, the rest all derived from the same filter. mods gave some quite different results with very little alteration. these are all pattern filters. i just like patterns. the first two are inspired from ronvier's weave filters. i had an old unfinished filter i passed by and realized it looked somewhat similar to ron's, so thought i'd do some work on it. it's not really a weave. it's more of a faux weave or just a pattern that sort of resembles a weave.

and all the rest of these are patterns derived by mods of the same filter.

hmmm, dont know how you guys post pics without any text...

i like this filter, even it's not doing quite what i want yet.

two more, yet.

every once in a while i return to an old filter. i've done this several times with the waterfall filters. i must have 50 versions now. lol. anyways, here is one where i took just the falls, no pool or anything else, and melded it with one of my rock filters.

lol. i rest way too much, actually besides, no one asked me if they could put my filters in a magazine, so, work, work, work!

here's another. instead of a full blown waterfall, how about a little dripping water?

LOL..... It's just a ruse/distraction to get me off of Vlad's back here in the forum..... LOL.....

ah, so vlad is the publisher of the mag then.

painting effects? how about commenting on the last sets of images posted? actually, you and carl are about all who do comment. i guess i shldnt rock that boat, ay?

i do have one sketch thing i put together recently, but it's not real good yet. and i certainly havent forgotten that set of sketches you posted in here. those were good and i'd love to be able to duplicate that with a filter. i kinda doubt i can, but i makes a nice challenge

I like the effect - it doesn't look anything like shadow and light so just curious what part is it you modded

ment the second one
