Jelly beans art making with a Filter Forge filter would be possible?

Here she is with an ultra restricted palette...

Awwww, lame beaten to it. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to eat all those beans...

I think I've got it all figured out now tho, unless there's any thing else anyone's spotted after playing with it.

What's everyone think of this as the main lifesaver on the final one?

Hello, it seems that is better now and looking good, but we want to tell you if there is something you could still optimize, so I am sorry for being picky, but as morgantao said also, I still see some green and pink beans that do not understand why they are there when the source color have nothing green or pink

I have tried many other photos and it works very well and detects in a good way the colors BUT on some colors sometimes it gets wrong lost beans of another different colors.

PREPARE CAREFULLY THE PHOTO BEFORE USING THE FILTER

You can´t do magic and make PERFECT beans IF THE SOURCE is not well done and the filter can confuse things perhaps on small details or saturated colors or small details that would be hard for the filter to convert to beans.

So I think that would be a good idea to use the photo as it is the first time, and then after change some setting if it could be seen better.

And if not possible take not, where the filter fails to achieve a good effect, and prepare carefully the photo so the filter can be able to convert better the details and optimize the borders and colors, and take out small details that could confuse the filter by simplifying the image.

And here is exactly the same photo as above with the same first preset BUT have change the size pixels and lowered to one third of the top resolution size.

Here you can see much better that this are Tulips than in the one above.

Although perhaps you can also think that instead of jelly beans this is colored rice

Seeing this example, with this filter you have the option to have Jelly Beans or Rice colored.

If it is already difficult and time consuming making jelly bean art, imagine making rice colored art

I forgot to put the real size of the tulips photo converted to beans in the last one to show that you may think that the beans could look very small and be more like rice as I said, they are not, and keep well.

see it here below.

Now I have got another idea, instead of jelly beans this could be medical pills of different colors

You can add a pre-beaning control that allows the user to lower the green in the image. That way, if the end result is good overall, but has green bean issues, the user could reduce the original's green amount befor it runs through the beaning part of the filter.

This got me thinking, what kind of shapes ????

So I went to the filter forge source and discovered the Bean shape and made that it to be a cross instead of a bean (using the star slider) and got this below

Here I put a screenshot of what is the ONLY thing I have changed in your filter for converting the bean into the cross.

This is using the same settings as in the above cross image BUT changing bean density to 3 so it covers any possible hole and gives a different kind of textured effect than the obvious star shaped above, which is very good if want the star effect, but his one also is nice to get a full texture, are different things.

And the original was made with jelly beans candies, well, there is another famous candy I know that could also be used here, and they are the POLO Mint candies

This is using the same settings as in the above cross image with bean density 2, but have reduced reflectivity to 62 and raised inside Filter Editor the metallic effect to 14.

I already know that the Polo mints are NOT shiny at all, but it looks bad if you turn off the reflectivity and make them full matte color, and even I had to rise the metallic effect to have a better effect

Again back to the jelly beans with another example I made

Here's the lifesaver with saturation turned up, as you can see, it's quite green...

I agree Mongoose, there's no point in having complex color correction controls if you have a stray bean here and there.
The fact that the lifesaver is VERY green in high saturation, and the fact that there is pink in the lifesaver show that the filter works very well at coloring the beans.
As has been shown already, pre\post processing for problematic areas is a better way to go.

Tada! Tis Submitted!

Spaceray, I like the X-shape mod particularly.
