Turning an image into small squares is hardly the point of this filter -- it is meant for coding and decoding secret messages. |
Yes, of course I know that as is told already in the description, but is not possible to use it alternatively or additionally as what I explained?
Can it be only used for coding and decoding messages and not possible to use it for any other thing?
Maybe you thought that I did not know the real purpose of the filter and i did not explain it, To avoid confusion probably I should have told that "although this filter is for coding and decoding messages I like the more the simple feature of cuting the image in pieces"
Here below is the description of the filter, so is clear what this filter is made for

This filter cuts an image into pieces and randomly mixes them. (Can not be only used for this if wanted?)
You can restore original image but you will need to know special "key" values.
How to use:
[Encoding]
1. Load an image
2. Using control "Qty of pieces" choose necessary value
3. Change "Key" and "Variation" values - make your code unique!
4. Save preset or remember the next values (Keys): "Qty of Pieces", "Key" and "Variation". You need to know them in order to decode image.
5. Save image
[Decoding]
1. Load coded image
2. Load preset or restore all key values: "Qty of pieces", "Key" and "Variation"
3. Press "Decode"[Notes]- works with square images only- switch off "Randomize Size" in the randomizer settings.- anti-aliasing also need to be switched off.- save images in the highest quality if you plan to restore them further- image's width / "Qty of pieces" = "X". If "X" is integer - no lines after decoding. If fractional - lines.
