I have since long time ago had wished that FF could be able to load or import MULTIPLE images from a folder instead of ONLY ONE each time but it was not possible
Could there be any possible way with an Script to load hundreds of images into bomber plus taken from a selected folder? I mean all the images from that folder and not selectively If not possible with a script could be maybe possible with an external tool that makes a bridge to do it? What I want is to make this shown here ![]() |

I thought that bomber plus would Not only import or load them, it would also apply some simple photo effects to each image and so you would make a unique collage that is not possible with any other software. I do not know if Studio Artist 5.5 could be able to do this
I remember that this was already asked some years ago and it was told that it was not possible to do because of the possible limitations of FF arquitecture and LUA scripting But maybe could not made inside of FF, but Could there maybe done with an external tool that makes a bridge to be able to do it? maybe someone that is new to FF that knows scripting could do it now Thanks very much for any possible help |

Some considerations without scripting.
You can add as many ColorMapControls in a filter as you want. A ColorMapControl can contain an image that you choose (use the "Allow images" checkbox). So designing a filter with multiple different images is not the problem (?) But I assume you want to load all the (hundreds) images (in a folder) at once(?) Each filter has a associated text file (right click on a filter name and choose "Locate File" to see its location). An external tool that handles the filter (text) file can replace all the image filenames of the ColorMapControls (or do some more advanced stuff). But I think to use 100 images in a filter you need to design a filter with 100 ColorMapControls before you can substitute the filenames. |

Thanks very much FFCreator
Sorry that I did not explain it correctly and show what is really the problem. You are totally right that you can have a filter with a hundred images with a 10 map switch of color map control input (or even a thousands images with 10 groups of these 10 map switchs) and this is not the problem. The problem is LOAD MANUALLY one by one EACH image into each one of the 100 color controls, that would take a very long time. Here is Skybase that showed that it is possible to have 10 map switch input and he also is right that this is not a good way to do it as you would cry when you have to select each one of the color controls to load each one ![]() |

The image above comes from this thread
YES, exactly, this is what I want, you nailed it. Sorry I did not tell exactly it above.
Of course, I agree that as I have showed above you must make first the filter with 100 Color controls and I can upload it here (I have to search for it first)
So do you mean that IF I take all the time needed to fill manually one by one each of the 100 color controls it could be possible then later to load another 100 different images with an external tool that would replace the filenames? Sorry that I do not know about scripting or coding, How would the external tool know what the new images filenames are? do you mean this? ffsubstitute Thanks very much for your help |

So, now I could try it, I have downloaded it and have seen that it already includes the filter with 100 color controls and a PDF with instructions, so I will read the instructions included and see If I can use it.
Thanks very much and is great that it is already available and ready to use. I have searched in the forum and I found this from you
And I was in this thread and I was writing and answer but I totally forgot about it and really did not test it |
