Filter On a Saturday??????

Wow, that is about a first eh. Not sure why they aren't posted automatically/instantly really. Has anyone ever had a filter rejected ?

It a lonely place being the only person to have a filter reject what about you 2 ............... Carl

Huh, I haven't had one rejected. I should have had several rejected ha-ha, but haven't. Do they send you an email explaining why it was rejected ?

Carl, Vlad posted this which might help.....

1. SLOWEST: Image-based components (Blur, Motion Blur, Sharpen and High Pass) with any slow component (like Worley-based noise) as a source.

2. SLOW: Worley-based noises (any Noise except Perlin, which is very fast).

3. SLOW: Image-based components (see above) in general, because they need to prepare a source bitmap before rendering themselves.

4. CAN BE SLOW: Refraction, especially with a slow component as a source. Refraction takes 3 samples of the source input.

5. CAN BE SLOW: Any Noise (or any component based on Noise such as Noise Gradient, Noise Distortion or Noise Curve) with high Detail and Roughness (they are interdependent) especially with a custom curve as a profile.

6. CAN BE SLOW: Any Noise with a custom curve as a profile -- the curve is sampled once for each noise octave (for Details = 10 you have 10 samples of the curve per one noise sample).

5. CAN BE SLOW IN CERTAIN CASES: Any component that generates edges for anti-aliasing (Patterns, Worley noises, some of the adjustments). But since anti-aliasing is done in a separate pass, that shouldn't impact speed too much.

6. FAST: Patterns, Channels, Adjustments, Gradients (except for Noise gradient).

7. ULTRA-FAST: Externals (Image and Selection), Checker, Switch, Blend, Offset.

You are more than welcome!!!

Yeah, the deeper I get into this, the more I subscribe to Uber's efficiency approach.....making my filters as simple, fast, and efficient as possible to achieve the desired effects.....

So now we know why there were new filters listed Saturday eh, none since then, and it's almost Wednesday.
