Value Control Component
Filter Forge 2.0 introduces a new type of control component, Value. With this component, the user interface of filters you create can now accept unlimited floating-point values – big or small, positive or negative. This ability becomes especially useful with the introduction of new transform and RGB Math components that can accept unlimited numeric values. The screenshot below shows Value components controlling the positions of both gradient endpoints:
Here's how the Value controls from the screenshot above look on the filter's Settings tab. Note the new spinner wheels to the right of the edit boxes – they help you tweak big numbers quickly and easily:
And finally, a tip: holding Shift when using spinner wheels makes them spin ten times faster!
Filter Forge's amazing node based editor has been invaluable in giving us the power to create textures that make the most of today's real-time pixel shaders.

“I needed rock textures and instead of the usual day it takes me to make one, I was able to make 20! Again – applause to you all.”

“Filter Forge is an incredibly powerful new Photoshop Plugin. It's simply amazing. It gives you the power to create your own filters (you must run them from inside Filter Forge though) without any programming knowledge at all.”
