Images can be of any size and resolution, no need to match the resolution of the main source image. After you loaded an image into a color control, you can adjust its placement method in the Image Placement dialog which appears when you click the image thumbnail:

Thanks very much Vladimir for the answer and giving the Article bomber filter (by the way I could NOT download the ffxml file with IE 9, I needed to use Chrome to download it as a Filter forge file and then import it in FF through locate file.

I can´t thank you enough for creating this REALLY very interesting and highly useful and wonderful feature and this Article bomber filter that gets an awesome and impressive result when used with different kind of images in the 5 particles control.

Thanks a million for this feature of having multiple images, you do not know it, BUT i have been already 3 YEARS looking all through internet for a software that could be able to make something like this that can be made now with Article Bomber filter, I could never imagine that my loved and great Filter Forge software would be able in the future (well, now present) would help me get what I was looking for in so much time.

The nearest thing I found was in 2010 the Shape Collage software that lets you choose all the images you want and the make a multiple image collage and what is really good that this collage can be exported as PSD layers to Photoshop so you could move, modifify and tweak each one of the images.

I downloaded Article Bomber.ffxml...what folder does it go in? (I'm using Mac)

Well, I can't right click (only have a laptop, no mouse), but I did figure out where to locate files. I had initially put them in that folder but did not see the folder listed in FF. So I tried it again. Still can't find it. What is it called in the FF list and what category is it under?

I know, I said I did figure out where to locate the files. And I placed the file in the folder. For me, on my Mac, it's in:

home > Library > Application Support > Filter Forge 3 > System > Library

My question now is, what is it called, and what category of files is it under? You know, in the FF window...

Creative? Misc?

I can't find it.

OK, I'm guessing that this is a bug along with the fact that FF doesn't even load in the Filter menu in Photoshop CS3?

If it's not a bug, can someone help me?

It would be very useful if you somehow could add options for retrieving average color, max. and min level from image controls..
