Allways use the softener by Ramlyn

Wow! A new Editor's Pick. Thanks Filter Forge.

I'm jealous. You are prolific and I would call you a pattern impressionist. Good work!

Thanks Rick!
No reason to be jealous. You made many beautiful and innovative filters. I really like your works.

Maybe you are right about the "pattern impressionist".
I made a lot of filters using Bomber or Bomber+ with different shaped particles.
I want to make something completely new, before that my filters may become boring. Ha! Ha!

WOW!!! This is really good and gives a beautiful awesome effect, and this is why it surely deserves the Editor´s Pick award. Congratulations

Very nice effect, artistic and well done. like it. Good idea.

Congratulations for the Editor's Pick

Today has been featured in the Facebook as filter of the day. Surely deserves it

Is this filter broken now? It's creating a mirrored image for me.

good job! love the title

Nice update! I like it.

Ha, Ha, at first I did not notice that the name has one more L as "ALL" and is funny and great how you have made the name, cool.

As have been said, this deserves totally the Editor´s Pick because it converts a very simple and plain image as the FF Ladybug into a very artistic version with such awesome fibers and different tones.

Thank you!

This last update I corrected a small thing in a connection. Now it works better.

Hello .
The speed of a filter may depend on many factors.
Surely, one can be your computer, but not only that.
Some filters are slower than others because they are more complex or because they use components that are slower (if you open the editor, you can easily verify this by yourself).
Another reason can be if you have other programs that are running when you use the filter, because they can take away resources fr om Filter Forge.
Other factors can be the size of the image where the filter is applied, and also your selections in the Settings. Example: controls like Repeat and Density, that are connected to a Bomber component, may change the speed of the filter depending if you reduce or increase their values.

The main preset of this filter took exactly 1 minute to be complete in my computer, that is an old Windows 10 without any special graphic card. When I did it, I was also using Firefox to download several files and other two graphic programs to do some work.
Then.... I think this filter is probably not the fastest one, but not even slow.

Try to check if there are other running programs (especially internet browsers) and close them. This may help.
