----Cool, it's just a weird lighting/low-fi rip-off, but people seem to like the odd lighting lately, so why not. And thanks to MadRaven for the "paranormal" naming part, everyone use her dang filters so she can get the 3 HU's eh. smile:D

Internally this is one wild filter. I really like the effects you get with the blur set very high while using wave type four. Is there anything blur, high pass and tone curve can’t do?

Nice work. smile:D

----Well, using *feeder* components to kind of change/control the TC module is one of my specialties ha-ha, just something I started doing at some point and had a little success with. Anyways, glad ya like this filter, and hopefully it's different enough from other ones to be of some use. smile:D

This is not a knock but the presets really do not do it justice. There could easily be a hundred presets just to lay out the bacis motifs. The more I play around with it the better it gets.

----I noticed that after making some adjustments (and after the presets were already made), that the range was rather large to really show with 20, let alone 9, but hey, I like filters that do stuff, lotsa stuff ha-ha. smile:D

Here are a couple of examples just using the presets. The infamous Stevie_cup pic original, followed by 3 examples at 50% quality, rendered in about 5-7 seconds each.

The first and third roses are excellent and I like all the cups. It really is a very powerful filter. I think it's one that once it's been on the market for a while you would not want to change it much because the artists become familiar with the nuances of how to control them - probably better than the designer of the filter. smile:)

----Plus, I have no idea how it works anyways, so it's probably just gonna be what it is, as it is, forever ha-ha. smile:D

I remember liking this filter a lot. It has so many many looks.

It could have just as accurately been named:
Hi/Lo-Fi Para/Normal-Normal Lighting/Shadowing by jffe smile;)

While going through some older filters today, I thought I'd bump a couple, and show some recent examples. Below is the original, and then several of the Low-Fi Paranormal presets.

----It's from some ancient free fractal program called Apophysis. I used to mess with it waaayyy back in ye olden days, like mid 2006, before FF ha-ha. smile:p

----Thanks. smile:) I know there's some wild stuff in the KPT Collection, but I never got the hang of it really, and got into Apophysis and the Amphisoft filters last year, then about September or so, FF came along. One of the KPT plug-ins does like video output, that took a lot of squinting at the .pdf to figure out, but they make wild stuff, one of the main filter companies to beat/compare to for sure. Apophysis is free (that's always a bonus ha-ha), but it's pretty old, and has some clunky things about it. But, it can output in a couple formats, and has a sizer, so you can make big renders if ya have time.

----That could be good, and it is kind of an X-Files/halloween kinda filter anyways ha-ha. smile:D Most of the (or well, at least most of *my*) tone curve filters are similar-ish, and remind me of a couple from the Amphisoft (old beloved shareware Photoshop filters) collection. Anyways, just posting some examples besides the life preserver for people to see, lord knows I am not always *sold* on a filter just cause of the orange and white eh. smile;)

----12 years later this old random-ish filter is suddenly HU, somehow. I'd just like to thank all you picture deforming weirdos who used it I guess. I mean I don't get paid or anything, FF gets all the money, but it was nice to get an email saying, "hey, this one didn't suck, history said it was useful" ha-ha. smile:p
