Thanks Carl – it's a pretty cute trick but the effect is lost with non-square images. You're still the king of the atmosphere filters. Smile

I wanted to show how this filter can be used with non-square images by first setting the canvas size to square then cropping after the filter has been applied.

cool trick ron, it's so simple but i would have never thought of that. i too was lamenting that i couldn't use this with non-square images, but it just takes a little ingenuity and all is well. thanks!

I TOO was lamenting that it isn't easier to use this beautiful filter with non-square images; the trick is doable but inconvenient over time, especially if you've got a pretty large canvas in the first place !=)

ronviers, this is a new fave of mine, and while I haven't used it a lot yet, it makes me smile. Kind of feels like "light coming through venetian blinds", only more creative and stylized, and I bet I could pull off some cyberpunky madness in the tone of Blade Runner with this.

Thanks for such a fun filt!

i'm sorry, ronviers, but could you elaborate? you set what canvas size, FF's, photoshop's, what? and are you cropping or re-sizing again after applying? i know you said cropping, but...

Sad but true. The good news is its relatively fast and Photoshop is an industrial product capable of handling billboards.
I like the idea of a Blade Runner mood. Maybe I could add some smoke particles and a color cast for a theme based atmosphere – now if I could just think of a way to add a Rachael checkbox. Wink

Thanks and good luck using it.

Hi Kraellin – I know you do not need step by step instructions but to avoid any confusion in the future I will add a sample with the steps I used – there may be better ways.

Here are the steps I used to work with a non-square image for this sample – here is the before.


Image>Canvas Size
The width of this image was 994x1448
Make a note of size of the height and width
Copy the larger number and Paste it over the smaller number
In this case the image is now 1448x1448
It's a good idea to choose a canvas color that contrasts well with the image but really not necessary
I chose black for this one
Filter>Filter Forge
Apply the filter
Select the Crop tool and put the original height and width values into the height and width boxes of the options bar
Cropping is then easy because PS will constrain the size of the cropping tool and the arrow keys can be used to place the crop before it is accepted

If anyone has any questions they can use this thread or the 'E-mail' link.

ok, so you changed the aspect ratio in photoshop before applying the filter and then changed it back after applying FF. is the crop tool the same thing as the resize in paint shop pro? that might be what was throwing me on this. because, i think of cropping as cutting part of the original image off.

Yes kidding, but I have never used it. I have wanted to get my hands on it for a long time but it remains out of reach for me.


Here is how the intermediate result looks.

oh, ok. now i see why you're using the crop. ok. you're changing the canvas, not the image size or aspect ratio of the original image. clever Smile
