square filters and rectangular pictures

Profile gradients only work over a square portion of the image. In FF Version 1, the workaround was a snippet that stretched the gradient over the whole picture, such as this snippet. Some filter authors chose to use the snippet, some don't. In Version 2, there is a "free gradient" component that automatically stretches over rectangular pictures. Other components, like free rectangle, free ellipse, and free polygon also work the same way.

If using a frame, there is a check-box on the frame component that only when checked will stretch the frame to the edges of the picture.

Do you have FF standard or professional version? If so, you can edit filters to make them fit rectangular images. If not, then you are out of luck.

Hope this helps!

Is there a specific filter your having trouble with Tom?

Yeah, unfortunately that filter was last updated in 2007 back when FF really only liked square images.

If there's a filter you desperately need I could be persuaded to fix it for you...

Yes, Voldemort, that's the exactly work around I'm using at present.

Thanks for the thought, though.
