----Granted that's a decent sized render, it shouldn't take more than about 10 mins on your machine. Are you running it in stand-alone mode, or inside Photoshop or PSP ? You might try both ways, surely one will do the render in 'normal' time.

Mac version ? Could be a *bug* then maybe, cause that long of a render time sounds ridiculous for anything less than a P2 with 128megs of pc100 ram ha-ha.

I am the original author of the filter.. and I was just PLAYING at creating filters when I came up with that one...I HAD no CLUE what I was doing..alot of people learn things this way SOOO if it was a "very strangely created filter" its because I had no clue as to what I was doing.. was trying to learn HOW TO ya know it renders in 10 secs on my end... so what can I say.. dont know how to fix either, Sorry Tom

Artsy,

I totally agree, sometimes playing and fiddling is a great way to learn things and there's nothing wrong with that. If you're still interested in getting to know filterforge more I'd highly recommend taking a look at the wiki: http://www.filterforge.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page there's a lot of great info that helped me out a lot when starting out.

One of the things I learned in the wiki is that blurs should be avoided whenever possible, there are two unnecessary blurs in your filter which is why it renders fairly quickly on smaller images (because it doesn't significantly slow things down at that size) but takes prohibitively long for larger ones. I would recommend that you take a gander at the wiki and re-submit this filter with some of the modifications I made in the attached. This way you can get whatever usage Tom (and others) might award from using your filter and not the attached one.

Good luck and stick with it!
