Image Based Random Backgrounds by Gene S Morgan

This seems funny. I have to try this filter

Thanks both Gigi and Morgan .... This filter is really simple and has some rough edges, but filters of both of you inspired the way I overlaid the images. I was following the little tutorial hint that Gigi had in another thread and as usual my ADD sent me off in all different directions when I set one of the sliders wrong and I said: "Boy that looks interesting. What if I rotated it and overlaid an image kinda like Morgan did in his one filter. Hey, thats cool ....." Well you don't really want to know how strange my thought process gets. This filters came real quick and it makes texture backgrounds .... Win win .....

Like many filters it looks better with other images than the built-ins. These include one from Gigi's cool texture maker .....

fractalartist1 ... Sorry but the effect cannot be made to tile seamlessly ... one problem in FF is that some nodes will not produce seamless tiles ... This filter depends on the rotate node which will not seamless tile ... I use backgrounds in much of my work, so I thought this one might be useful for some folks ..... Thanks for checking it out .....

and reducing the size pixels setting gets this nice and creative collage
