Lucato FF addicted Posts: 505 Filters: 39	Hi folks, you know you guys are experts and it can be easy for you, but for me I always get hard time trying to combine stuffs. If is there any tutorial about it I'll appreciate any link. I'm trying to combine the two outputs below. How would I achieve that result out of the node. I've tried the blend component, but it doesn't get the result that I want to: (See the attached file below) Thanks in advance. My blog / Buy my RF images

jffe Posts: 2869 Filters: 90	Yeah, seems like just blending them at 100% with screen or lighten should work fine really. jffe Filter Forger

Lucato FF addicted Posts: 505 Filters: 39	Hey folks, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately it didn't work. As I'vementioned I have already tried blend. By using lighten or screen it just ADD and do no COMBINE. See the results (Blend 100% lighten or screen): My blog / Buy my RF images

CFandM ForgeSmith Posts: 4761 Filters: 266	Hey Lucato..Try maybe setting up another frame component with the settings that you have then put the blend that you have now through the contents of the new frame component..You might have to put in an invert and mess with he colors to get it to blend right....Also click the proportional and the Fixed Size so it stay at the circle.. If this does not work post the filter that you have the question about.. Stupid things happen to computers for stupid reasons at stupid times!

CFandM ForgeSmith Posts: 4761 Filters: 266	Well I did a couple of different ways to accomplish this but only came up with one that seems the simplest way that I found anyway to do this...Using like jffe and Craig said about the blend component and using the blend mode of multiply..Use the output from that tone curve with the shape as the opacity...You can always produce a second version of that tone curve branch to control the opacity if needed...

Lucato FF addicted Posts: 505 Filters: 39	Thanks C, I appreciated that. I'll study it. Maybe FF team would add a new component to make this operations easier. A component TRANSFORM with the options: Add Subtract Intersect Exclude Well, somethink like that. Thanks once again for your help. All the best. My blog / Buy my RF images

Kraellin Kraellin Posts: 12749 Filters: 99	oh, i see why that didnt work (my suggestion). ok, this is a masking problem. you already have the elements you need for it. take a look at this: and dont mind all the garbage components i left in there. that was just to show you other ideas and to show how much trouble i had in figuring out the masking. lol. no-name2 by lucato rev 1 by craig.ffxml If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

Lucato FF addicted Posts: 505 Filters: 39	Hey ThreeDee, thanks for your reply. Yup, that is exactly what I want. I didn't get to undestand why this opacity work this way, but that's ok. It works. ;0) ThreeDee, actually it was my fault, CFandM had already got the solution and I forgot to post here that the thread is solvead. Anyway it is cool to see other possibilities that somebody can come up with. Thanks for the file. Cheers. My blog / Buy my RF images

Lucato FF addicted Posts: 505 Filters: 39	That's for sure ThreeDee. Two heads thinks better than one. Or I would say CFandM and ThreeDee thinks better than Lucato. Hehehe. Btw, I didn't mean I don't want your file. I just don't want to spend the others free time if the case is solved. Just it. I hope you didn't get me wrong. Have a nice weekend.

ThreeDee Lost in Space Posts: 1672 Filters: 112	No -- I just didn't realize it was already sorted out. Took all of one minute of my time. Besides, what else would I be doing on my FF time...?
