My First Post, a question & and I wish I'd waited

Well, I found Filter Forge while looking for a way to modify some graphic designs I've made and I love the program. So I splurged and bought the standard version a few days ago while it was 30% off. ARGH, I wish I'd waited. I logged in today to find a filter to create a "curtain opening effect" (which I found and worked great) and I see that the prices are no at a 40% discount! Oh the humanity!

Oh well, you win some and you lose some. What can I say.

Also, this is my first post here in the Filter forge forums so I wanted to say "HELLO" to everyone.

Finally, I do have a question. I'm one of those who learns really well by reading stuff. So anyone have any recommendations on a good book on creating new Filters in FF?

WELCOME TO FF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it seems you missed out on $20. If you want, you can contact the FF admins and try to beg the money out of them.

As Craig said, check out the FF wiki. And it always helps to download filters and take them apart to get a feel for how the components interact, as well as checking/posting in the "creating filters" division of the forums.

May the Forge be with you!

Wait, there was a time when FF wasn't on sale ?

When you create a new *New Image*, even the same (600 X 600) size as the life preserver, you can choose a color or transparent backgroud, but the life preserver is gone then until you reopen FF.
