Wow! ahimsa this filter is *superb*!!

It's definitely got that textile look nailed down quite well. Nice work, ahimsa! --- Crapadilla says: "Damn you, stupid Mac beta!" |

BTW, I think you forgot to add the checkbox control to allow for the selection of the image mode. How do I look? You look ready... [Kill Bill] |

ronviers, actually this one can be saved as a png as is. It will make great sweater textures for Poser models with the skin showing through the transparent areas like a real knit sweater of this type.
Thanks Crapadilla. I was going from experience. I used to do that type of embroidery.  |

Ok, I just saw the selectorless switch there and thought you had forgot. How do I look? You look ready... [Kill Bill] |

No, it's ok. It actually makes it do the transparency that way. Weird, isn't it? It seems there is more than one way to get the transparent backgrounds. That was the one taught to me by Zephos (sp?) weeks ago.
I don't think it would be a good one to do over a photo. When you make a texture for a Poser model or outfit you make a map and take it into a 2D program and "paint" the texture onto the map. Then for something like this you would make a transparancy map and since the png leaves all the transparent areas transparent, those areas will be completely black on the transparancy map. |

I don't get it, are you saying the switch plays a role in the filter? BTW, I think the scrapbookers would appreciate a knockout to image background selector - but then again I'm really not sure what you have going on now.

I could do that, but yes, somehow it makes it possible to save with a transparent background. If you have PS or PSP save one of these as a png and then bring it there and use the wand to lift it and you will see that it only lifts the design and not just a big square.
I'll put the switch thing in and resubmit it. I think I'll add a way to add the background too. I didn't think about that when I made it as I was seeing it more as being used to make clothes for Vicky, Steph, and Aiko. |

When I add the selector it wipes out all but the default preset.  |

I don't know ahimsa, I don't think I know what I'm talking about. I think I should have kept my mouth shut about it. To be honest I really don't know how most of these filters are used and therefore not a good person to be listening to.  How do I look? You look ready... [Kill Bill] |

No, don't do that! I just have to find out how to do it.
However, since scrapbookers do use PS and/or PSP they will just use the texture like a tube over any background they like, maybe even use a mask. |

She looks so sweet; who is she?
The frame looks very nice. Any problems using the textures? |

I have no idea, just picked her up over at www.PDPhoto.org and had her sit for me a bit so I could frame her
Nope, no problems at all, in fact some manipulating with the size allows them to become somewhat transparent and I like that addition effect! ~Foxxee~

I said it before ahimsa this filter is superb. What did you do in the update? I'm not finding any differences.

I just saw that!
ronviers, I added the high pass component to give the embroidered areas more height. I also added more presets. I got editor's pick! |

I'm real happy for you, girl. Makes all the work and fun even more fun here on in
So, what's up with your creative juices today? Did you read my suggestion on getting some inspiration when you told Persidio you were having a creative block? ~Foxxee~
