Hellow to all,
Just started to use FF and am trying to get a grip on the textures and layers. I have been working on a couple of rock and block filters but when the final result is displayed the "highs" of the images seem to be flat and washed (kind of looks like a color blob on top of 3d texture). I see from all the great filter that this is correctable; just I am not versed on it yet. Any help would be great.

From the Filter Forge Help Wiki:

It is recommended to set Contrast to 0 when using Noise components for height maps, because high contrast values can lead to clamping artifacts.

you can also just post the filter here and folks would probably help you debug it. we're pretty good about not stealing other's filters (though some might disagree smile:) ).

Like Craig said.....I would just find a filter that does something close to what you want.....then learn and incorporate the concept into your own filter.....

Welcome to FF smile:)
