Filter Details

Description

This is the filter, which came from the original, unreleased filter, "The Monster", which spawned "The Beast". In other words, there was 'the monster', then this snippet which came from there and which then went on to become 'the beast'.

There was some interest in the forums on Filterforge.com about the original snippet, so, I thought i'd release it. The only thing added to the original snippet are the controls and the levels component.

I didn't alter the control names in this one (much). I figure folks that use this one will also be folks that make filters and they would be more familiar with the actual names.

This one may take some practice to get exactly the effect you want. The presets were made with this in mind. Use them as a guide. And don't neglect the color control. This one can have profound effects.
