I like this very much - is there a way to get it to work with non-square images? If I use a non-square image, it renders a square and starts over where the square ends, so you can see a line where the texture is not continuous.

Thanks EAdams! smile:D

Yes, you're right about it. I will try to check the components one by one, to understand what component is creating the problem.
My first idea was to turn around the problem deforming the original picture to a square, but it was not so easy and anyway the result is not realistic.
I'll try to find a different solution.

As you surely remember, you told me of the same problem in another of my filters too.
There are many others ( mine and not mine ). So, let's see where this thing happens and I'll be back to you about it. smile;)

Ok, I found a solution. I'm sure that many people will have to say that it is not the most correct way, but the results are pretty ok and this same system can be used with any filter having troubles with non squared pictures.

1. Make a squared and transparent png. The size 600x600 should be fine.
( You can make it with any graphic program ).

2. In Filter Forge, click on File and then on Open Image and load your transparent and squared png.

3. Use the filter editor to open the filter and, search in the filter where an image is connected.

4. Substitute the Image component with a Color control. Then, click the Color control and check the box “Allow Images”.

5. Click the arrow in the Color control. And a new menu will open. Use “Load Image” to load your non-squared image.

6. Done. The effect of the filter will be applied on your whole image. The not used space will generally stay transparent thanks to the transparent png.
