Welcome back Kraellin!!

This looks interesting and beautiful.

It looks like you could have you own mechanic from a car repair shop and you can drag along the ground your photo to pick up all the black oil that could be there

Well done for the effect.

I will see how this works.

GREAT FILTER AND AMAZING EFFECT!!!

This can be really useful and very interesting for modifying textures and making them more grungier as Carl have suggested well

Congratulations for making this filter

Welcome back Craig!
I like the effect on this filter, very grungy!

just thought i'd post a couple examples. the original pic of Pam can be found in my assortment of images in the user gallery forum.

love the last one in particular will you please send Pam a formal apologise for what you've done to her over the years

From making some tests I have seen that the problem of the solid blacks comes when the filter find white or very light areas that are coverted nearly to black and if you make the white or light areas more dark the effect given by this filter is slightly better and not so much black.

Perhaps if this is true, this could probably have a way to separate the light and dark areas as Morgantao have made very well in his M_Shadows and Highlights and make the processing in two separate parts.

This is only a possible suggestion.

see if this isnt what you want, SR.

WOW!! You understood very well my idea and have made exactly what I wanted and what I was requesting, now is perfect for applying the amazing and impressive textured petrol and black oil darken effect in the AMOUNT you want and the intensity that you want according to the source image and the whites are better this way and like it much more.

Thanks very much for this very good update, now it is much more useful and interesting and have wider possible uses.

This is the possible negative (in some way) part of the update, I mean that I agree with you that this color control really is not very useful or interesting, because changing the black looses the awesome black effect, and with any other color than black is NOT the same effect, does not have at all the same impact and impressive effect than with black, even with grey opr dark grey is not good from my personal point of view.

You say that you want that it looks burnt, and although this could be a good interpretation and meaning of this filter effect, I personally see it much more like taking a bucket of black car oil and throw it at the image and then is goes through the edges very well and makes lots of beautiful and nice stains in the way.

SUGGESTION TO UPDATE ONLY WITH THE NEW MINIMUM SLIDER

I think that this would be a worthy update to put in the FF library but only updating with the new minimum slider and remove the color control for background

Also I would suggest that you could change the NOISE color control into another name that is more specific on what it really does, because this could be perhaps confusing to others thinking that if you put blue, the image result will be blue and this is not what it does.

Like and love much how this filter is able to change the industrial image in a dark and very beautiful way that gives an amazing effect

and i like that last picture, SR. shows off the filter nicely
