I have seen that this filter HAVE activated the base image, because the Bombs Away does not have any base image option as obviously all the image would be filled with the small images so it really is not needed at all.

I have not yet tried it because I can´t now, but when I do I will put some example.

DO NOT HAVE RESOURCE IMAGE WITHOUT BORDERS TO USE WITH THIS FILTER ?

If you do not have images to try WITHOUT borders, I mean that they are cut out and are transparent, you can find lots of them for free in this website where ALL the images have been already masked out and are all with transparent background and you only have to change them to PNG 24 with transparency or TIFF with transparency.

I have an idea where this could be really very useful and is to make great artistic FONTS

The font to be used as the SHAPE for the filter could be this FREE one here

http://www.dafont.com/es/coolvetica.font?fpp=50

Here are some examples that have game this idea and will try to make

For more letters of this kind please see this link on Google images

Or search in google images for "alphabet made of bolts"

AND also using DICES.





For more examples, please see this Google images search

Or search in google images for "Dice Alphabet"

The result is a very quick test and there are some errors but shows what could be done

Good samples SpaceRay....To fix those ahh "errors" I have that in place in this filter.....Go through the layers and turn each layer off except for the layer that is cutting off the image...Then use the XandY offsets controls to move the image...You might also need to use the scale......

Thanks very much for the advice and tips for fixing "the errors" smile;), I knew this was for this, BUT did not know how to use them right, and did not want to spend time finding out, as this was just a quick test.

But now thanks to you I know how to use it. smile:)

YES, you are right, thanks for the suggestion I will try it. Is true that filter forge is not always for using ONE ONLY filter, the art of design is combining things, and in the same way that you combine the components to make a filter, it is good and an art to combine different filters to get an awesome result.

AND also go beyond that and use the FF filter in combination with excellent plugin filters from other professional companies available like Nik software, onOne software or Topaz labs.

Above I have just shown some text letters done with this filter, but today I had another different idea on how to custom text with this filter after trying to make custom text with the project I have put in this thread

What about Spirography making with images and PHOTOS ?

So then I thought that the best filter that can multiply lots of photos is THIS one created by the genius of CFandM

The main key for this one is to load the same photo object in the 5 color control settings and reduce much the size pixels setting until you can have a good design and definition of the letters.

The text is loaded as a plain black color mask with transparent background

And here is the result

smile:D smile:D Funny that you have seen this as bananas smile:D smile:D



Good point and way of seeing things, As they are really lighting strokes smile;) smile:D as you can see here below in BIG detail



Now after your comment and can see the "bananas" in the text smile:)

All those "bananas" are really ONLY this shape here below multiplied lots of times smile:)



and I think that this "banana" shape comes from the top left part

I want to say that I still love much this filter, and is really creative and well done, and has a great potential, and can be used in many different ways, but regretably seems that people is not creative enough or have imagination for using this as is a low rank, a great pity as is not deserved for something so great and well done

Also now with bomber + in FF 5 it could include and have more source images to be included

i have seen these nice examples of multi collage with different images that are not repeated like it happens with this filter, so I think I will try to use this filter and update it with bomber plus to see if it is possible to make something like the images shown on the link

i still have to see how to separate the particles of bomber enough, and to make them also big enough to be like the ones shown on the link

stickers multi images collage
