WOW!! Love this filter, clever solution and well done.

I have seen that the Scale component has a Squash component, BUT the problem is that it will ONLY shrink the source either vertically or horizontally, I mean that there is NOT available the opposite, that is to stretch the image, or squash outward, or enlarge vertically or horizontally

This filter is able to fill the gap of the scale squash, and give the very helpful and useful stretch that is missing, works perfectly in a very simple and easy way to use with 4 sliders

Thanks very much for making this

Note: it would be even better if it could have the option to load the image either from main image or from color control, in the same way as I have done on some of my filters, as this would allow to stretch more the source image adding more space by loading the source image in the color control and modify the available space with the new image

Easy enough for this snippet....Here is the modified version, just use the Offsets x and y to move the image....This filter does not work perfect with transparent images so moving the image to one side or another fixes this...(sorta)....

I really love this filter after so much time as it has helped me much sometimes that I need to stretch and image that with any other FF component is not possible, and with this one it works flawlessly and perfectly.

I have been trying to make an inverted hyperbolic space and I tried many different ways and it was not possible until I discovered that the problem was that the hyperbolic source was too slim and thin and I have used this filter inside my filter and now the hyperbolic works perfectly exactly as I wanted

So thanks very much for making this again.

By the way the other essential thing I have used to be able to do it is Polar Distort by CFandM because I have discovered now that the stretching for polar distortion is very important to make it right sometimes.

inverted hyperbolic space

As you may not know what this is here is the finished one that would not have been possible without this filter here

It is called inverted hyperbolic because this is the opposite of the source image that I have used to make the above image that the one shown here below

as you can see the infinite fractal in the above one is in the center or inner part and in the below one is in the opposite side, I mean in the outer side

So thanks to your Polar Distort with your Stretch now is possible this

And you can combine both together to make an hyperbolic that is shown with outer (the traditional and frequent one) and with the Inner fractal too, that is much less frequent to see on internet.
