Image Mask Frame by lipebianc

Cool and useful, awesome idea to make this.

At first looks like another frame filter, but then when you try it and use the settings is when this filter shines and show the great power and all the good things it really can do.

Very well done, with lots of customizable options to make grunge frames with lots of possible variations, and modify the mask as you want

And also have 3 ways of applying the frame to the source image toghether with the mask

The only problem is HOW FF manages the frames in all the filters that is forced to cut a part of the source image and does not "grow" outside of the image or you can´t add your beautiful and great effect as a frame already to the original image without cutting any part of the source as it happens on some Photoshop plugin filters.

The best solution for this problem is perhaps to not use the source image and make it transparent and make the frame as you want knowing that you have to make it at a resolution higher than your source image and then mix both inside Photoshop (or any other graphic software that could do this)

I do not want to put a negative note on your very well done and original idea, and is not my intention to do it, but must be known that someone could think that is an error from your filter, and is not you who made it wrong.

As far as I know, from all the frame filter I have seen, nobody has been able to solve this. I think that there is one frame filter that what is does is resize the source image to fit it inside the frame, but I think that this was a simple frame filter and not a complex like yours.

Carl wrote in the thread below I'd like to point out no filter in the library that has a frame doesn't crop the edges of the image off.

If you are interested for more information there is some good explanation by Carl in this thread here

Thank you for your comments and help, guys.
I'll leave it as it is, for now.

I've submitted a 1st update that adds X and Y controls, as well as renamed controls, for a more intuitive approach ("INPUT" controls were renamed to "MASK").
Note that presets remains exactly the same

I agree that is better to leave it like this now and avoid possible problems with the scaling.

Nice example you have put lipebianc with that grunge frame.

Thanks for the update too.

Very cool filter. Allows for so many possiblities!

very nice lipebianc

"INVERT Transparency" option
(to preview this, "Transparent" checkbox must be *ON*)

Very well done and useful second update, will see how it works.
Thanks

3rd update - February/2013
- New "MASK Invert", "MASK Contrast" and "Invert Grunge" controls added for more creative MASK tweaking possibilites.
- Description updated
- New Default Preset (previous is now preset #2)
- Some prestes sligthly changed

Example below:
1) Default Preset
2) Default Preset + Invert Grunge = ON
3) Default Preset + MASK Invert = ON
4) Default Preset + MASK Invert = ON + Invert Grunge = ON

Thank You, Skybase! Glad you liked it!

Below, an example of the "MASK Contrast" in action:

A) MASK Contrast = 0
B) MASK Contrast = 100

lipebianc and found out this just went HU !!! Totally unexpected!!!

Congratulations and glad that you have got it AND I have to say that you realy deserve it much for having done this very creative, useful and awesome way of making frames in such a cool way

Way you say it was totally unexpected? as said, this is a really great, useful, easy and innovative way to make wonderful frames and is very well done, so I am not surprised at all that this have got an HU as surely this can be used much in many ways.

Thanks for making such good and awesome filters that you make that help much

I think that this is one of the best grunge frames available, at least from the ones I have seen, and well done with customizable parts that gves a great flexibility.

I have an idea to make multiple smaller grunge frames that I will use this one to try to make them and see how it works.
