thanks, steve

looks like looking through glass at your rose on a rainy day.

yup, never forget the granddaddy, b&w.

and no on the curves work. not yet. i actually got back into it due to looking at the monster again. need to do a lot of study yet.

basically, the curves work is experiments with curves and profile gradients. no real filters coming out of it and none really intended. it's more a study than anything... plug this into that and see what happens. a lot of it is turning curves into shapes and seeing what can and cant be done with that. and whereas i can get some really unusual shapes and such, there's nothing i really see so far with much potential for a filter. i did just post one, the life saver, in the waterfalls thread. that one's kinda cute, but it's not really a curves/profile gradient one. just something that came up as a result of some tests.

and i havent forgotten the monster but it's been pushed back yet again. i just cant quite get it to behave how i want... yet. and i still am not sure how to release it, since it borrows so heavily on having a multitude of other filters within it. in fact, i went back to the original image i posted and the filter version that made that and am looking at it from scratch again. i posted that one pic of the woman with the alien skin over on retouchpro. hehehe, got some good reactions on that one
