I am in the process of updating some old filters, all comments are welcome.

Oh wow, Mystic! What a neat idea

You know, No. 20 is so rich and full of depth... I'm thinking Craig may be right when it comes to choosing all of the above. This one is definitely outstanding, love all the beveling too

Oh, an update? I just did my very first update... well, I mean a serious updated that I wanted to do to an early filter I made, not because I HAD to updated it for all the mistakes I seem to keep making

I updated my Moody Shadows 1 and added the ability to cast a color over the room or picture you want the window and curtain shadow casts. Sort of like in the old photos and b&w movies, how they would add a bit of color to change the mood. Soft pink for something sweet and girly, or bright and sunny for the morning sun, even dark blue for moonlight. I use it more than the other so thought I should share it here too

That last one is very sharp focused compared to the others, not that they are less nice... it's just with no. 20 there showing off all bright spiffy it made the others look dimmer in comparison. But I still like them too and would use them as many others will as well

Hehe, thanks... hope it doesn't disappoint you.
And that fist tile is beautiful, much nicer than most inlaid wood tiles I've seen too. But yes, I love the 3 dimensional look, gives it a realness you just wish you run your hands over

Most definately go with what you feel is right for your project, Mystic. As an artist I know you know this to be the only way to go. Even when I was in highschool if I changed my work too much because the teacher said "do this... now do that" I stopped enjoying it and never looked at it again after finishing what didn't feel like my creation any longer.

Yeah teachers... hard to make them happy but glad I had them anyway. I don't think I'd be so involved in graphic arts if it wasn't for their pushing me to learn all sorts of mediums. Even if I didn't like the way they taught I learned a lot and am glad for that

I understand that too about your first filter, it's your baby after all. Now it's time to introduce it to it's new baby brother... or sister

yes, i do hope you do this as a version 2. it may be 'dull and flat' in comparison, but it's still got a very good look and i'd hate to have it overwritten with an update. sometimes 'dull and flat' is the look one is after.

Thank you very much Craig, I will be releasing this one as version 2 and I agree with you.
