In the Color Control Image placement you can convert any external source image to square using the FIT or STRETCH or FILL option
But I wonder how can you make this inside FF with a result made inside FF that you can make? Color control does not have any node connection, so you can not connect any component to the color control to be able to fit, stretch or fill with that result a square I already know and have tested that this can be made easily using the Scale component and modifying the settings of the scale, but what if you want to make it automatically for any possible FF result or shape created inside FF? One of the main things about the new bomber plus is that there is only one input and you can process all the feed input before it enters bomber, so would be good to have a scale component to make this automatically |

I think that it may be confusing, so I will put an example
If you may have created multiple shapes inside FF of different sizes, and without changing the original sources, you want to make that all the shapes can have the same size and be all the same size scaled to fit inside a square, so you can keep the originals and only modify the result So you can be sure then that without caring what may be the original size of the shapes that has been created, they will have all the same size EXAMPLE I have one filter example that I can show This is the awesome. amazing and excellent Arial letters built inside FF by the expert ThreeDee, they have a big empty space around and it seems that they do not have exactly the same size So I have added a scale component at the end and customized the settings for the first A letter, and so then automatically all the letters are scaled relative to the first one, but there are some letters that are bigger than A (like C, G, O, S, U) so they are cut as you can see on the filter below This from the Fonts is just an example and it could be any other kind of shapes with more difference in sizes Arial TD Font Snippet Scaled.ffxml |

(Just to derail the thread)
Fonts are actually designed that way. If you make the round parts of "C" fit in the same height as "A", the letter "C" will look too small. |

Of course that I understand it and is not that you have made it wrong in any way, and many letters in the alphabet design are made in slightly different sizes so they look good when joined together I am not saying that the letters are made bad, it just a possible example of what I mean to be able to have any kind of shapes made the same size, if you wanted, but without having to modify the original Will put another different example later |

You can automatically trim the white or transparent areas like this. Works if the image fills at least 1/4 of the image area.
This removes the transparent or white areas off the edges and fits the image area proportionately as well as centers the image. You could chain two of these to autotrim anything that is at least 1/16 of the image area. It is also possible to make a modification that stretches the image or fills based on the shorter dimension. Since it uses motion blur and blur at high settings, it's not particularly fast. AutoTrim.ffxml |

Thanks very much for making the Autotrim filter, it is a clever and different idea, instead of enlarging the source image, you thought on removing and cutting the transparent area around the image, good. I did not think it about it
It works very well and modifying slightly the Profile gradient repeat value you can make it trim perfect if needed like much the idea and is very good, helpful and useful STRETCH TO FILL THE AVAILABLE SPACE Although this will trim correctly the image, it will of course trim the image with the corresponding ratio that the image already may have to avoid distortion but in the first post I also wanted that the image is stretched to fit all the available space, but for this I have found an alternative solution, that is Stretching an Image by CFandM that it makes possible to stretch an image, although is manually done Will see if I can combine the Autotrim with the Stretch filter so both works automatically as it happen already with the Image Placement inside the Color Control. |

I have already tried to merge both myself and discovered what is the main problem, and is that I can combine both, but do not know how to tell to the stretch filter part what is the maximum available space that it must fill, I mean that where are the limits untill where the image must be stretched automatically
So I think that I can use the Autotrim and then use the manual sliders to stretch to the borders. |
