Both variants.

I've already sent fixed version.

Thanks to Vladimir!

Check out the attached "crapified" version.

I think you could ditch the blur and highpass tree completely and achieve your heightmap with...

*tadaaaaaa*

...just a curve-profiled perlin noise.

More easy - Direct connection of "Surface Type" SWITCHER and "Surface Color" in RESULT. Very fast version.
But if You'll try HIGH RANDOMIZATION in my (original) version and in this variant -You'll see that original is much more stabilized. One of the reasons why it's as it is.

There are many ways to improve it and I'll try to do it as soon as possible.
I'll do this filter faster with the same or better quality, new controls, surface types and still stabilized in randomization.

Thank You very much, Crapadilla for Your attention and Your advice.

P.S.

A few days ago I had more time to try Your "Sands of Time" filter in work. And it's really good.

How d'u think could it be interesting:

Yup, that's because I didn't adjust them to the new heightmap.

I posted the "crappified" filter to demonstrate that you can get highpass-like effects and various "color"-corrections on a noise by just mapping it with the proper profile curve. Blur and highpass components are very slow and should be avoided on the height tree if possible (because it gets sampled three times).

As for your samples, personally I'd keep this filter plain and simple. You could introduce those patterns in a spin-off filter...
