Yippee! I had checked this morning to see if the next wallpaper filter was up. Checked again this evening and, even though I wasn't planning to use FF tonight, had to download it right away.

Here's a try with it:

I took that second pattern and ran it through Corvus Croax Steelerizer (which I found on one of the old threads on the forum):

And taking it and running through Bro, You got enough gives it a very different vibe:

Haras Arch,

Looks like you need to make sure your initial image is a 1:1 ratio square for the filter to work properly. The bottom part is missing because the filter doesn't apply to the entire image.

Rick: I think as a suggestion, use the color control to load the image. So filterforge doesn't automatically resize the image's output to whatever the image size is.

This is intentional behavior. If you put a non-square image in, the result is intended to be square (in part for tiling reasons and maintaining aspect), with the "excess" as clear alpha. With transparent PNG files the result would look correct on the web (ie the transparency would show white on these pages). So, the filter works correctly. I'm guessing Haras Arch's images are jpg or non-transparent PNG.

Having said that, I do see that using the color control has advantages.

Yep, I saved them as JPEGs, mostly so they'd be small files, and didn't take the time to trim them in another program. (I actually liked the rusty panel at the bottom of the one that was created with Corvus Croax's Steelerizer. Wish that filter had been officially released . . . .)

On some other filters, I get a hot pink strip at the bottom, even when I think I am working with a square and save as a TIF. I also occasionally get a solid, pretty big square in the middle of an image; that seems to happen mostly with really old/early filters. Can anybody tell me why both these things happen?

It's FilterForge indicating there's nothing there or it's an error, but since it renders, it's not a huge issue. Generally these occur when calculations can't occur, for example, if you divide by 0. In this case the filter's output should be 1:1, in other words a square, so any extra stuff will be filled with pink.
