new Filters and credit to the node's athors

FF is a nodal editor, so several filter may be assembled to create new one

what is the etiquette for the credit to the author of the nodes used as component ?

A simple example (not sure if praticable, i didn't look to the components so may be too slow for any paratical use )

This is a cool render "Straw "filter from Genie http://www.filterforge.com/filters/5330.html
this a excellent effect filter from Golovin http://www.filterforge.com/filters/8766.html

Now FF 3 support blending modes so assemble the 2 to create a new filter to create a straw
with stamped on a graphic version of the original image should be very simple

But then i will felt a bit ashamed to consider myself its author
...so how you do for the credits ?

one of the basic philosophies of filter forge seems to be sharing. the entire filter library is free to anyone with the program, any version, any level. the eulas both reflect this, too. an end user is free to use any filter from the library any way he so chooses without liability from the company or the original author. the author eula also states this same principle, but letting the authors know that if they submit their filters to the library, they do retain copyrights, but they are guaranteeing that filter forge may use them however they see fit. the whole structure of filter forge is based around this. thus, you can use and mod anyone's filter from within the library. you can even combine filters or alter filters and re-submit them... with one exception: if you were not the original author and are submitting a modded filter, it is up to the discretion of filter forge, inc. as to whether there is a significant enough variation in your modded filter to warrant it being allowed into the library as a new filter.

we've had clones before, those filters that are so close or not even modded and just re-submitted, that they've been removed from the library and hopefully the errant 'author' was chastised or whatever. we've also seen filters get modded and be accepted into the library as a new filter. i've actually done this, myself. i modded one of steviej's filters and submitted it and it was fine. however, i also made sure i made mention in the description that this was steve's original filter.

regardless of any legalities, though, CFandM is totally correct; it's just plain polite!

yup. that can sometimes create some very interesting effects. good luck
