I have seen in the filter library some time ago a filter that could separate the base photo in different squares with borders added and made a grid to show them all toghether.

I know that I had downloaded it, but now it is not in my library of FF. smile:?:

Now I can´t find which one is this filter and do not remember the name, I have looked in the FF online website library but as there so many filters I have not been able to find it.

Here is a similar example photo of what I am talking about, is from the movie poster of "One day" film

Glass Brick by Macphisto


Yes this is the most near from what I have told and is also very nice and very interesting and very well done BUT is not the same. The filters by Lucato are not the same, I prefer the first one shown here.

Yes, you are right, now that you have said it, I think it have something to do with Polaroid style photos instead of square bricks, and as you say well is many instant film images that makes one big image.

SEARCHING IN THE FORUM FOR POLAROID

I have found this thread that looks interesting

http://www.filterforge.com/forum/read...0&TID=6152

and in this thread I found something even much more interesting than the filter I had in Filter Forge that was all rectangular or square photos.

Please, see this example here

And now I had the idea to search with the words "polaroid collage filter forge" and "polaroid effect filter forge" in google and also in Google images, but what I have found is something similar to the example shown here above



and this one here when searching only for " Polaroid Collages" in Google Images



Althat can be seen hereso found this tutorial that seems to belong to a some kind of special software made this company

BUT NONE of this are similar to the composition of the first image of the first post, although the Glass brick filter is very close to it, AND also would be very interesting if there is any FF filter that could be used to make the effect of the photos shown here above.

Thanks again for your help, I will have to keep searching and if you have any idea just put it here

Sorry, to ask again, I have been looking inside the FF online library and with the FF obsolete library inside FF searching for the filter I have told in the first post, and is curious that I can´t find it.

Please, in what category is supossed that it should be ? I think it should probably be in Creative.

I have seen hundreds of filters and with no result, and I am beginning to think that perhaps I am loosing my memory, or it was a dream I had, or I am going crazy and have unreal false memories smile:D

The filter is NOT like the examples shown in my previous post above here, as they was well organized in a grid like the movie poster shown in the first post, and much more like the Glass Brick filter posted by hd8fdkd

Wow, old post gets a hit. Here's the new version of the "polaroid-esque" filter: http://www.filterforge.com/filters/8944.html

It can probably be modified significantly to generate the desired effect described above. The generation of the frame isn't complicated at all and I don't think this is a complicated effect to reproduce with the bomber component. My guess is that it'd be best to introduce some parameters for varieties of photo collages including grid and shuffled looks.

Historically speaking I recall there was a thread like this some time ago when FilterForge was transitioning to version 2. I was interested in producing the effect but I just didn't, probably because I was busy working on other things. I donno, maybe I'll do it or somebody else will. We'll see.

Hello Skybase,

Nice that you made a new version of the "polaroid-esque" filter, and it looks good, but this is only ONE frame smile:D

Probably the generation of one frame isn´t complicated but the generation of a grid of frames and then insert into them parts of the same photo could be more difficult.

I have been trying to remember how was the original filter and I think that really was not a polaroid frame, and was more like the photos in the movie poster above that are just white borders frames, but I do not mind if it this way or as a polaroid.

I am beginning to think that probably it could be that it could have been ANOTHER plugin for Photoshop that is not from FF.

FOUND HOW HAS BEEN PROBABLY DONE THE FIRST OF THE EFFECTS SHOWN ABOVE IN FOURTH POST

They are using a layered photoshop templates using multiple polaroid layers and using layer masks for the background photo you would choose as you can see here

Here I have attached one of the examples

I have now bought it and I have seen how it works inside Photoshop, BUT the problem is that the design is totally fixed and you CAN´T MOVE any of the polaroid frames, because really are NOT frames, is just a visual ilussion created with layers masks smile:D To "move" them you should rebuild or paint other layer masks by hand yourself.

This is why FF is MUCH better is some things, because you can control the way things are distributed and are not fixed like in this example here.

Here below is what it looks like this Polaroid template in Photoshop (I choosed stone instead of wood)
