Inspired by David Hockney's 1980's photo and polaroid collages this filter lets you take a single image or three separate ones and combine them. Vignettes, Exposure variances and image offsets can be randomised to give a quirky look but it works best with three images taken of the same subject which contain slight differences.

RB Real Bokeh Spot Focus

November 21, 2011

Produces realistic bokeh even for spot lights. Filter has a lot of controls and the detailed instructions on how to get the best are too big to fit in this small text box so please go to the filter forge forum for this control. For real bokeh spots try applying to dark images with a small number of point lights.

Smoke Wheel

You can use a fake smoke generator or use a source image to make the spokes of the wheel but it's more fun to photograph some real smoke and use that instead. If using a real image it works best if you have a white background and the smoke is positioned in a square image like the hour hand of a clock pointing at 12 i.e. radiating from the centre straight upwards. if you search flickr for "smoke wheel" you will find further examples to inspire you.

Striper

Inspired by some wrapping paper. This filter can produce a range of stripe patterns made of blending or contrasting colors. There are many settings to change the range of colors in the pattern plus some overall image settings. If you like the look but want to change the color set modication of the hue slider is the quickest way to try it.

Radial Blur

Radial or Zoom Blur Effect - Middle of blur can be moved to generate starburst effects too. The point where the blur converges also has a mark which allows a selected area of the original images to come through. The shape of this area can be configured and feathered to balance the effect with the original. Large step values give image echo effect. The radial effect is interesting as it uses FF script to calculate the blur vectors making the filter more configurable. It also works well with non square images. Works especially well on portraits where background is distracting and on buildings. Comments welcome.

Waterfall

Vertical water style effect. Colours can be modified and the amount of stripes can be controlled.

Spot Focus

bertie — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 00:00:00 EST

February 14, 2011

Allows an eliptical sharp focus zone to be placed anywhere in the image. The rest of the image is blurred. Size and proportion of the eliptacal zone is controllable. Checking the mask box shows only the in focus parts of the image and can be used for setting up and far exporting an image with an eliptical selection with soft edges.
