Hi!
First post here. Sorry if I muck it up.
Is there any way to have a checkbox that represents 'Use input from PS or not'?
IE, I am using an image node and processing it with perlin noise, but I would like to have the option to use just the perlin noise as the filter input instead.
Is this possible? Again, sorry for the newbie question; I only found filter forge this morning.

Yeah, just put a switch, and have the image as one input, and the perlin noise as the other.

The import is handled via the Image and Selection components, both are located in the External category.

Jffe, I've got my switch, but it's only got one out point. How do I link it to the image and noise nodes? The image node only has one out as well... I've read the help file, and I think I'm missing something. Do I need to put the two nodes together with a blend, and use the switch for the opacity?
Again, sorry for the total newbity of my questions.  |

You don't link TO Image, you link FROM Image -- Image is a source data, you feed it into something that processes images, like Brightness / Contrast or Noise or anything with a green input.

Yes, I understand about linking from the image. I've got the image in, and am processing it happily. 
But I need to link the checkbox to the image at some point, so that it will affect the image's node.
I believe that I need to link the checkbox to a blend that has the noise as foreground, image as background... then the checkbox will toggle between the two of them. This works for me, but is there a more conventional way of doing that? |

mousewrites,
welcome to FF.
you can 'pull' multiple lines from the same output. like on your image component. even though it only has one output NODE, you can pull multiple lines from that node.
and two, your checkbox goes on the switch component, down at the bottom of it where it says 'selector'. think of the 'switch' component as a train station. you've got multiple tracks coming in and that 'selector' controls which one of those tracks is currently going out through the output node. If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

SWITCH! :: headdesk:: yes, of course.
Damn. I knew I was missing something. I have used the multiple 'lines from an output' thing many times, but I totally missed the switch component.
Thanks a lot, Kraellin!
