I See Rainbows by Poly77

OOOH!! I see your Rainbows and like them very much. Well done and original. Good idea.

Please, any possible recommendations to how to get the best effects with this filter?

I have seen that it depends much on the source but do not know really how it works.

I have seen that you get a bad result if the background is mostly white but good result if it is more darker.

This is the same as above but I have Used the Size Pixels slider to get different effects in the colors bands and distribution as you can see here, do not low this too much because you will get fine color lines instead.

But of course that photo I did use the updated filter lol.

From what I've seen that you've done, you have the right idea, I would lower the density on photos that are "busy", and change the trail angle to 0 and color angle to 2, lower max trail. The main thing is adjusting the Gamma (which that control will be in the update), it does make a world of difference on some photos, lighter ones especially.

The best types of photos on this are photos with a central image that is dark (but not too dark, details should be clearly seen) with a light background, or a clear crisp bright central image on a dark background. If you find the details of your image is not showing through enough, lower the trail density and max trail and change the trail and color angles around.

Some insane awesomeness

I have tried the new update and it works better, this is a black and white background converted with this great and colorful beautiful filter

I see rainbows falling from sky

Love this filter

with my wireframe

other example with my dots

Nice examples Ghislaine, I like them and are well done, but there is one thing missing and is the trail effects this filter can do. As I see them this is only like a Rainbow colorization that you have applied to you nice sources.

I am NOT telling you that this examples SHOULD have the trail effects, because this is optional and you decide if you want them or not.

Very nice guys . I was playing around with it more today and used a photo of a planter I had taken with a red background, it turned out pretty neat, eventho it's of a ceramic planter lol.

Here is exactly the same source as above and with the same settings and the only change from this to the one above here is that I have rised the Trail opacity to 65

Here is the source of the bump map

I have found again this great, original, curious, and well done filter, and think that it gives a beautiful and awesome colorful effect from plain and normal images.

Using preset 1

I have made the original with my own filter Alphabet Texture creator Extended version that will be available soon

As said this filter works better with darker colors than bright ones, here is a lion head photo using preset 1

Preset 4 is like Preset 1 but inclined and so it gives more shadow like eefect and some little stronger effect

And here is the last of the 4 examples using Preset 7 that will give the longest trails horizontally
