Filter Forge - Upload a tweaked existing filter

dactilardesign Posts: 79 Filters: 18	Hello all. I did a quick serach and I found nothing about his subject. Let's say I want a nice plaster (like Plaster FX filter) with bricks. I would edit the Plaster FX filter, add a nice existing brick filter and done. Then lets say my tweaks are worth sharing because it looks great. Is it legit to upload to the library? If so, how should I credit the original filter makers? I did read this "No clones or near-clones; new filters must be sufficiently different from other filters in the library." from the guidelines, but sounds unfear to me that I make a paster - brick mixer, which can be awesome, but based 80% on others job. Thank you.

Just make sure to credit the original authors. When in doubt you can always contact the author directly and ask for their blessing. I see many re-mixes of my filters and I take it as a compliment.
