My fifth filter – please comment.

Hi,

The name of this filter is ‘Glass Heart’. Here is the description:

This filter makes glass hearts. It has two modes; the first mode is for making glass ornaments or embellishments, and the second is for framing. There are three sizes; the small size is suitable for displaying an individual item such as a favorite pet while the larger sizes could be used for larger items like a loving couple. This filter may be valuable for scrapbooking. There are four preset colors; ruby, amber, topaz and emerald. The width of the frame (or ornament) can be varied as can the amount of surface reflection and translucence.

I really learned a lot making this one. I have a much better idea of how some of the various surface maps work. I feel like there is a lot of room for improvement though and I hope someone will take an objective look with that in mind. Any comments or suggestions regarding design or function would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ron

ron,

just a tiny sort of off-topic remark: why don't you post your filters in the 'user gallery' section along with some example images (which are almost guaranteed to spur more interest than a plain ffxml file).

The user gallery is a more appropriate spot for posting work-in-progress, and 'traditionally' is the place for comments, whereas 'creating filters' is more about troubleshooting.

Hi Ron~

If you don't want to compose an image in a very simple way ... post a screen shot. ((Tutorials on the Internet)) if you have not used that function before.

Best way is to post the screen shot as a sneak peak and don't post the ffxml file. A..N..T..C..I..P..A..T..I..O..N.. is making me wait... now I'll have that song stuck in my head.

I've found that mixing in a few jokes to keep them happy while viewing filter work helps too. ((Yes I know I'm soooo devious)). LOL

P.S. Your filter ROCKS!~ Could use for tubes, stamps, etc. Very useful filter.
