Right now it is a bit slow and convoluted to achieve this simple effect...

uberzev, I'm not sure why you put the blur in - but onyXMaster taught ne a trick. Select "Seamless tiling" - the filter works about three times faster.

Also if you put in a Levels component (Black = 0, Gamma = 100, White = 1) between the Blend and Threshold components you'll pick up a few more "Webs".

Maybe you should use only a Gamma component (since you're not adjusting black and white points)?

I don't think I know what you mean.

Well, the original goal of the filter was to make a kind of 'baked earth' effect like you see it dry lake beds. I needed the blur to create a realistic height map.

byRo suggested to "put in a Levels component (Black = 0, Gamma = 100, White = 1)", and Onyx just said that this would be equivalent to use the Adjustments > Gamma component with the Gamma slider set to 100.
