Thanks to all !
Love your examples lipebianc ! In particular your CD cover. Spaceray and Morgan, you are so good for finding names, I like the Spaceray's spiroman. Guys, you have to find a name for my next filter. Just go to the wireframe's thread and see my last baby visit https://gisoft.ca |

As always, you have your personal touch ! Love your example and its colors. I did not experimente much the triangle. But you give me the idea to do so.

I have tried to use the Background to add a photo texture but I think that there is a problem, or I am using it wrongly, as you must use a very dark one because others get a very undesired bad result.
On this one works but on most others don´t  |

Could I suggest you that you activate as "Allowed images" the 2 color controls?
I think that this could be useful and interesting and add a whole new way to make colorful spirographs Of course this is up to you and you decide if you want to do it or not. Here is one example  |

and the last one of this with image sources.
As said already above, this is just only a suggestion and you decide if you want to allow to use images for getting colorful results or you want to keep it as just plain mix of colors.  |

Spaceray, when you load a background, you must put the offset V and H at zero.
And I have updated my filter and you will be able to add your own images on colors, as you asked. Here few examples with the new changes.  visit https://gisoft.ca |

And this, here one of the colors is my own image and this gives more possibilities. You are right.

Sorry, but there is no offset V and H, perhaps you mean the offset X and Y. If you see in the examples I have put, these are already at zero value and it does not work for me, will have to try again and make some more tests.
Great and glad that you like my suggestion and idea and you will allow to put images for the colors. This is optional so you can choose to use plain colors or images. |

Yes, offset X,Y. But we have to put the offset Y at 1 if we want center the spiro. As I said, the spiro design creates some squares on the background. The spiro filters are made to use on alpha bg, then you transfert your png on your bg that you want (this for a bg without alteration).
About the upload of the filter, I tried few times without success. I will try again. visit https://gisoft.ca |

Thanks for the update that is already available.
I have tried again to use a background that gets nicely modified by the filter, BUT it does not always work. Here is one example where the background looks well, although the spirogram looks faded and too transparent. I think that this happens because you are using the lighten blend mode.  |

But on this one the effect is worse and really can´t be seen well, and I think and perhaps this happens because the background also goes through the lighten blend mode and it is "multiplied" with the spirogram it also gets lighten toghether.
Perhaps it would need an alpha mask to protect the background and go through the filter to get that nice look you have done, but do not get affected by the lighten blend mode.  |

Also you can´t use a background that have light colors because the spirogram gets nearly ghostly transparent. You need to choose a background that have dark colors so you can see better the spirogram
Here is with a light color background  |

And must be careful that the background does not have any white inside as this will be bad if used here as it will be blown out and when passed through the filter.

I like the idea that the background goes also through the filter and get that good effect of multiplying it into a tunnel like BUT it seems it does not work well, and think that perhaps the problem comes from the "lighten" blend mode applied also to the background, although I could be wrong.
Also you could add the background at the end so it does not get distorted,but this is not the point here, as I said I like that the background gets modified in that way. |

I'll check for the blend mode, maybe a screen mode can be better without destroying things.
Putting the bg to the end will got give an effet on the bg. If a way exist to add another bg to the end and also keep the other one... I'll check all this today. visit https://gisoft.ca |

What's a UR? I know of EP and HU...

UR ? = Usage Rank ?
But every single filter have a UR what is important is the level of it
You mean a URH, or better a HUR, and in short HU reward (High Usage) Congratulations for this and you deserve it much for having made this (and the others) great filter. |
