Ok, so what can this program do? You got a nice, long-winded text review above. So, let's see some pictures!
Here's an original of mine I'll use for this to start with: [ATTACH]3[/ATTACH]
I took this years ago and never did anything with it. Then, a year or so ago, I found the old negatives, scanned them into the computer and touched things up a bit. This is one of the pictures I use when I'm testing filter making.
Here's an image done up with a filter I made. The filter name is 'Fall Colors'. It was made based using one of Danny Raphael's images posted in the art forum, and that's where I got the idea for the filter name: [ATTACH]4[/ATTACH]
And, here's another using a different filter. This is also a filter I made. It's called 'Lab Experiment' and is based on L.a.b. components within FF: [ATTACH]5[/ATTACH]

Basic edition costs $99 and allows full use of all filters in the library. As I am typing this there are 2265 filters in the library, and the number is always growing.
Standard edition costs $199, and...05-17-2007, 11:13 PM -
Hi,
Is there a way to control Photoshop's Wind Filter, other than the standard presets?
At the moment if I want wind on anything other than a horizontal axis I have to rotate the image, apply wind, rotate again, which tends to be more destructive and less predictable than...06-17-2005, 04:26 AM -
Thought I'd drop this picture here to show about how things can happen.
When I started to retouch this picture it was never meant to go through the filter. But after spending some hours here and there it showed so many problems it developed to be so "artificial" I didn't want...07-13-2004, 02:01 PM
