Just submitted this one not 10 minutes ago. I have always liked solarization effects, but I've never been thrilled with most of them, as I felt they lacked real variety. Now, Filter Forge gave me a chance to make my own! smile:D

Here are the 8 presets:


I have a couple of my own photos which are favorites for me when testing my filters, and here is one of them:


...and here it is with the default setting applied, plus presets 2, 4, & 8:


Another of my own photos I like to use:


...and here it is with the default setting, default with effect & result inverted, default with result only inverted, and default with the effect only inverted:


The differences in these last examples aren't apparent at first, but a moment of examination will show them. smile;)

I hope this will be a good one for all the 'solarize' fans like me! smile:)

looks good, capn. i've always had an issue with solarizing filters. they tend to bring noise or be 'not clean'. this one looks pretty good
If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

Thanks to you both. smile:)

(Yeah, I doubt I will even end up getting to use my own filters, since I only have 11 days left on my trial, and I couldn't afford it even at half price. I figured it was worth a shot though, and it has been fun... even if I have only slept 3 hours a night for the last 19 days...)

Anyway... thanks much. smile:)

Write FF and ask for a time extension on the demo......I believe they will grant multiple extensions up to 90 days......so you can get some sleep and not feel so pressured when creating your filter masterpieces smile;) smile:)

I still stay up very late to work on filters some nights, so can't help you there. However I can tell you that you are not alone~ smile:D

Have to tell you that I like your filters~ Beautiful work! Keep doing what you are doing. I have noticed a 'learning curve' in my own filters, and now I'm going back to update my first and earlier filters. Your first filters are creative and crisp! And I can't wait to see what you make next!~ smile:D

Keep up the good work~

Not only that, but she's also known to respond quite favorably to the mention of couches, sofas, cushions, plants and warm diffuse lighting (in that order). As such, I would advise to furnish your request accordingly...

Good luck, capnsparrow!

smile;) smile:D smile:D smile:D
