This effect was generated in Filter Forge, a Photoshop plugin that allows you to create your own filters.
As a stand alone filter, Before & After might look like something out of one of Andy Warhol’s more normal dreams, but used in combination with the business end of any other filter, it allows you to sample the effects of up to four filter results at once side by side without having to render each result separately!
Simply plug the result you would like to see into the Background slot of any one of the four colored Blend components (Has an Image component attached by default) in the top of the node structure, turn off the Color Code, and watch as your connected results are rendered on the screen all at once! For when seeing the difference is all that matters, trust Before & After!
Tip: For use with bump maps, duplicate the filter, hook the new Switch node up to the Height slot in the Result and synchronize the samples and controls.
