Here I have finally submitted this filter to the FF online library and this is the first version that has simple controls and easy to use settings

I will make another extended and more complex version of this that you will be able to make more cool and curious things with the stripes.

Please see below in this thread for the following:

1 - After the quote, WHY sometimes 11 stripes is much better than 10 stripes

2 - Instructions, tips and hints on how to use better this filter

3 - Examples made with this filter

BIG DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THIS FILTER AND THE 10 STRIPES FILTERS

IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT CONFUSE this filter with all the other 10 stripes filters available because although it seems fr om the thumbnail that is exactly the same with one stripe more, this is NOT AT ALL true because:

1 - This filter is very different and is not built in the same way and does NOT use the same components

2 - These are totally individual stripes AND you will NOT be able to MIX and MULTIPLY the stripes as you can do with the other 10 stripes versions that was groups of 5 stripes, here you will always have ONLY 11 stripes

3 - A very good difference from the original 10 stripes filters is that with this new filter it works much better and as expected if you want to have rectangular designs stripes

Here is the a square design with 11 stripes



And here is the same design BUT with 1100x600 resolution that shows that the stripes are wider and you can have the same 11 stripes but showing more of the photos (please see at the end of this post how to it)



4 - Another important difference is that now you can also enlarge the size of each stripe as you want, something impossible in previous filters, and this is done by changing the output resolution to a rectangle as shown here above.

5 - In this filter you can have real frames all around the whole individual stripe

6 - Here you can RESIZE the individual stripes in height in BOTH parts, and you can position the stripes in different parts vertically as you may want

7 - Here there is a gradient that can be applied to all the edges at the same time and does not break the color frame



You may have seen that I already have seven different versions of 10 stripes filters and so you may wonder why I should make an 11 stripes version? well, as the answer is not short, I have explained in this other thread and will copy it to here below

11 images or Colors stripes experiments using different components

In this thread above I will put also alternatives and experiments made with this filter

WHY 11 STRIPES IS BETTER THAN 10 SOMETIMES?

When making the first10 stripes filter I found that it is not always good to have only 10 stripes, as for some posibles designs, it would need 11

FIRST REASON - For example if you are using only 2 images and want to distribute them alternatively on the stripes, it will not work right as you need 5 stripes of one and 6 stripes for the other



As you can see above all the kingfisher image is well done on 6 stripes with 5 stripes of the Lionfish, and this is not posible if you only have 10 stripes

SECOND REASON is that having 11 stripes is well balanced when you look at it sometimes because you can have a design with:

1 central stripe and 5 stripes on each side

1 outer stripe + 4 inner stripes + 1 central stripe + 4 inner stripes + 1 outer stripe

1 outer stripe + 3 inner stripes + 3 inner stripes + 3 inner stripes + 1 outer stripe



In the example above can´t see well the 3 stripes example, but here I have made another example that shows it better with 9 stripes with 3 similar tones each one and 2 stripes with different color

THIRD REASON - So here is balanced with the 9 inner stripes with 3 tones each and 2 outer colors, and in the 10 stripes colors you can´t have this

I know that one of the orange is really yellow and not an orange tone, but is similar in some way



4th REASON WHY 11 IS BETTER THANK 10 IN THIS DESIGN

There is another design that is not possible to make if you only have 10 stripes and is very similar to the first one but with colors instead of all images

You can have 6 color stripes with 5 inner images, or have 6 images with 5 colors



5th EXAMPLE

Another design that shows that using 11 stripes gives a balanced and good design is like this below wh ere you have one central stripe and then 5 stripes on each side in different sizes



6TH EXAMPLE

I have another design that is not possible using 10 stripes

5 image stripes using 2 color stripes inbetween at each side (2x3=6) = 11



7TH EXAMPLE

This is similar to the above but using 6 image stripes and 5 color alternative stripes that would not be possible with 10 stripes
