LMAO I can guess why you would think that cause front view of eye, it's just a selfportrait doodle painting which your filter turned into sketch smile:)

it was how your filter interpreted the full colour doodle into the tonal line B&W, I know for recognition you should stick with the same avatar but I got bored with the last one and decided I'm going to regularly change it for my own amusement, with the added bonus that it will confuse people into think theres 2 carls and they may even think its a partnership, three or four different avatars and the conspiracy theories will start, 5 or 6 and they'll think its a cult........... or of course they may stick with the idea I'm just a twit smile:D

I'm not enough of a computer geek to help you with that. I believe Steve or Craig might be though. smile:D

The baby isn't due until next month, but her family delivers early so it could be anytime now. I can't wait to hold him. It will be strange holding my baby's baby. My baby is going to be a Father! smile:cry:

I know where the AOL spamblocker is.

Daniel lives about 2 miles from us and I will be babysitting when they are at work, about 50 hours a week.

AOL is a POS internet provider. IE is an internet thing too, but it's free and works much better.

Ahhh...from a CG character...that's why it came out looking like a crisp clean drawing and not from a photo... That gave me a little idea on how to pre-treat a real photo in an enhancement to this filter... smile:devil:

You know, you could add a second mode of operation that extracts the black BEFORE the sketch routine (instead of after). Then, depending on the colors in the photo, it would make a greater variety of results. Especially in photos that favor red or green.

BTW, I'm not saying to eliminate your current method. Just suggesting the possibility of adding one. I attached a demo of the alternate mode.

And while you're at it Stevie, just pick the Alpha from the original image and set it back before Result. I've patched the filter to do just that as it allows me to "pen" pngs with transparency.
