This is one of those filters that cannot be demonstrated well in FF. With the limited possible backgrounds available you can't really see what it can do. It is so simple and useful. Why didn't I think of it? There are a lot of sketch filters in the library, but this one gives you the chance of using the sketch as a design element .... Here is my first use ....

The thing you gotta remember with this filter is that you have to set the input image to streach if the it it not the same size and shape as the forground. If you use a seamless tile you must set it to repeat. The results are simple but elegant ... Great job Mardar .....

I think I was a bit the same " looks interesting", but seeing the examples really show the quality of the filter ....... I wonder if it would be possible [ on a switch ] for the filter to also do the opposite, so to speak, where the B/g is line drawing and the object is solid

Cool background on the guitar, Gene!

Thanks Morgan .... The background is Sixties Swirl by Kochubey with mardar's sketch applied. I like it to.

SpaceRay ... I agree this filter is very useful ... It really shows how a simple filter with 7 nodes and 4 controls can be something most anyone can find a use for. It doesn't have to be rocket science. A guy just has to have a creative mind like Mardar ... I didn't mean she's a guy. That's just the way I talk ......

I didn't get to give any instruction on this filter before my parents got sick, but I see I didn't have to worry because Gene saw right away what I was up to with this one. Great examples and instructions on what this filter is made for Gene. You even taught me something about the images being different sizes. I didn't explore the image input that well to realize you can fill or tile different size images to make them fit. (Mardar slaps her forehead and calls herself dummy)LOL Any-hoo... This is what I wanted to do. As Gene pointed out there are a lot of sketch filters out there, but I wanted to be able to see instantly how a background would look with the sketch over it without leaving FF. I could change the background quickly and get it just right before I rendered.

Gene thank you so much for the examples and your praise. It was hard, as you said, to show what this filter can do with just the built in images, but you got it right away.

Oh and Gene I love how you talk.

wow ! All examples I see here are very nice looking !

As said spaceray

This can be a very interesting filter and useful for making compositions and designs and combine the results. And also you could have the results from 4 different photos and then combine all the 4 to make a new weird complex black edges wireframe design

Gene, I love especially your first guitar and I wonder from what filter come from the background you have used on this one because I love the effects it gives

over a fabric look background... And one with the threshold set low to produce sort of a reverse sketch

Strange ! I did the same thing without knowing you did also it. I used your Patterned fabric mixed with Painted on boxes Gene's filter and GF Wrinkled Fabric v2.

I'm not finished yet. Look this composition with my Craft paper filter

Plus this another compo

Here the same thing that above plus strange Weave Background Gene's filter

Not finished yet... Here a mix of few filters of mine

Finally, all these examples to show some of a lot of possibilities that can do this useful filter.

Ok a last one.

I love the word cloud shrouds! Only thing I would change would be to give it some more space around the edges

Yeah... it is my snow photo. As you like the bird, I'll sent it to you. It is the same bird I used. It is in black and png format

check you mail in a minute because the postman is coming... just right on the corner LOL

love the bird examples Gigi
