Newly added style:

you know, ron, i think i'm going to quit downloading your filters until at least the sixth update on each.

I don't think so.....I think it shows that you care and want to perfect your work.....and I like that quality in people.....

hehe, it's fine, ron. i love your filters. just teasin mostly due to how many updates there were with yin-yang and if ya did 20 more it wouldnt bother me, but i'd still tease ya

what is it you feel still needs work on yin-yang?

and, you're welcome

Do you think 'Double Weft Weave' is a good name for this filter? The new style option I added, where one of the strands is reversed, does not look like two weft strands (it looks more one strand that is twice as thick) - and I would like to keep that second option. Can you think of a better name?

But I also know for a fact how reluctant you are for people to see your unfinished work too. Remember the project you never let me see?

Btw, how cool is this filter?

When I first look at it, it looks fine. But if I just stare and stare at it, then it starts looking like crap.

Wiki mentions woof as an older alternative to weft, but I had never heard that.

Something relaxing about it.

That is an unusual mod. I never thought of using kaleidoscope that way. Never really ventured into kaleidoscope at all. Too difficult to control.

i had to have another play. i cleaned this one up a bit (as opposed to my last one) and changed things around quite a bit. i didnt add back any controls, as i have to go to work now, but i like having found the stars bit

yep. they are in pretty much a fixed position, along with the little dot things. still, it was kinda cool finding them

I just changed the blend to darken.

I am working on a very interesting modeling project right now but I would like to come back to it when I get some time. I have tried to get a winner in the pattern category but both of my previous tries went LU.

Are either of you still using CRT monitors?

If I drag the step wedge to my CRT I can only see eleven. I can see all fifteen on the LCD.

How many ff users do you think still use the CRT? Could you have made out all the marks on your CRT?

I think there is a tendency for people to operate their LCD monitors too bright. They come from the factory set very bright and I am not sure most people turn them down.
I guess I should make my presets with the assumption that they will be viewed on a correctly configured LCD, but I am not sure that is valid.

lcd's are a bit of a problem in their display being that the angle one views them at is so critical to a proper display. that was one of the reasons i was so hesitant in buying one. the quality has gotten better, but i have to be somewhat careful how i angle my monitor when working or i end up being off a bit. still, i doubt i'll go back to a crt; the extra dynamic range is worth it and the size per dollar cost is quite a bit nicer than crt's. plus, retailers just arent carrying crt's any more around here. cant even find one.

i dont know about too bright. mine did seem bright at first, but on doing the software calibration, it seems fine now. 16 huh. hmm, so it would seem

yes, the weight is much less. i like that also. i wasnt real keen on the 16:9 widescreen format, at first, but i'm used to it and even enjoy it now.

i've also noticed the blacks problem. sometimes my blacks look a bit green, though for the most part, that only seems to occur when i'm viewing a lot of text and even then i'm not sure if it's not eye strain

the one thing i have noticed that is a bit disturbing, is that my crt seemed to do better matching up to my printer colors. i think this is one of those things about the brightness you mentioned with lcd's. now, i expect my prints to be a bit darker than the monitor representations. that's just normal, but it's a bigger disparity now with the lcd and even shows a bit of hue differentiation, which i never had with the crt and this printer. the hues comes out generally a darker shade. so, if i had a bright green-yellow on my monitor, the print might come out a green-green and a darker shade. it's not by much and the text here makes it seem more exaggerated than it really is. it's really not far off, but where i was REALLY pleased with this printer before, the lcd seems to not match up as well. ah well, maybe it's time to get a hardware calibrater and start using photoshop's gamut feature more.

It sure is taking ff a long time to remove this and my YinYang filters. I notice they appear not to be processing new filters either, maybe it's related.

Definitely OCD placed pebbles.
