			Nice job Kraellin. Users love these paper textures and I can understand why - but there doesn't seem to be as many as there should be. I like the image option - after I thought about it.   @ronviers | |||

			thanks, ronviers    yes, i debated adding the image component in there. but, i have seen translucent papers like this before, even if it was quite some time back. this is one of those filters that sat unfinished for a long while. i had intended to go buy some for a model for the filter but couldnt find any at Staples and that quite surprised me. onion skin paper used to be pretty popular. If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

  and i tend to agree. sometimes 'simple' is harder to do than 'complicated'. and thanks, steve  but no 'monster' in this one  If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

			I would like to see a lengthy tutorial on this one with a component by component breakdown of theory and function. I tried to follow it but keep getting lost. I considered stealing it outright but decided that by having something this nice in one of my filters I would be caught for sure.   So as usual I will just slap on another layer of Perlin and call it paper.  @ronviers | |||

			oh no, no lengthy tutorials! you tell me what you dont understand and i'll try to explain    basically, it's just taking the 5 color grad as a seed and running it through some mixing components. a lot of the extras at the end were put in there just to give a wide variety of looks, some of which dont really work as onion skin paper. and the alpha component is to get a bit of translucency. that's basically it. i just threw the switch in there because i liked some of the looks in the earlier components preview windows. the 'problem' with this filter is that when you stick color controls in your controls list, you cant re-map them or limit them much. so, hitting 'next variant' is going to throw off 'onion skin' colors...a lot. i suppose that can be plus too, but wasnt intended but no way around it.

			You make it sound so simple.   Thanks for the explanation, I will go through it again when I get a chance. 
 Consider looking at this snippet. It was designed for exactly this purpose. http://www.filterforge.com/filters/3441.html   Good work Kraellin. @ronviers | |||

			well, it is fairly simple. it's basically just 'noise mixing'. make some noise, mix it up, poof!
 yeah, i could have left the color controls out too and just done the colors within the 5 color grad. but, i'm all for control, so i left them in. If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!
