more 3d shapes

Hi guys !

Sorry to disturb all of you. I'm a newbie with FF, but my need was to find filters to creates vases. So, I see a lot here in this post that I love each one.

I have a new pc since a week. Before, with my old pc, it was impossible for me to download filters just by clicking them on the site. But with the obsolete manner, yes. And filters downloaded with thit manner, all filters downloaded was checked.
I had a vista.

Now, I have window 7. And I can download filters on the website directly. But filters that I have downloaded are not checked. It is impossible to remember whicth filter I have or have not. I do not want to download the same filter twice.

Sorry for my poor english, I'm a french Canadian, but I try my best to communicate with you.

My question is : where I insert those 2 filters in this post after download them ?

Can we find in the filters page more 3d shapes, that we can save with alpha channel ? I think to a cylinder, a pyramid, a box... There is a lot of spheres, but for these forms, not to much.

Thanks in advance for responding.

Hello Indigo Ray.

It's nice to you for responding me, and thanks for the welcome.

I have FF2 and FF3 beta. With Vista, I had AppData - Roaming,etc, but not with Window 7. FF2 and 3 are just placed in Program Files (x86).

I hope that the FF3, after all beta tests, will give us chance to have more possibility for the alpha channel on images and more 3d shapes.

Thanks and have a nice Sunday.

Then one more

Hello Ghislaine and welcome to the FF fun.. Yep just a couple here..But you can create more with the above filters...

Thanks for your kind words

I already have these filters. I have also difficulty to understand how to create filters in the filter editor. So for now, I do not use the filter editor. Most of the time, I run FF as a standalone. I have created a glass with the filter named Halloween... (image 1) but no possibility to get this glass with alpha/channel with FF. So, I had to run another soft to get my glass with transparency (image 2).

It would be wonderful to be able to save our creations with transparency IN FF.

Sorry, the images do not want to appear. I do not know why. How do you do for that

I click on the botton and I choose the image in my pc (no linking), but a window say : "Provide your message". So I write few words and when I click on the preview botton, nothing, so I click on "Post reply", and nothing. My 2 files are less than 150 ko.

That is what I did, but nothing. My image is in the good size and format. The dialog box open, but no othet botton appears to say "yes"...

Hmmm..Thats weird...If you are on windows I am sure osx also that you should be able to select the image then choose open.....Then at the editor for this fourm you should see where its says.."Attach a file" it will read where that file is located on your hard drive.....Then choose Preview and it should show if it is in the right format....

Try to help when I can..
Did you ever get this worked out and does it happen on other fourms?....Don't know what browser you are using but on some other sites I experienced my dialog box hiding behind the browsers window.....So I actually had to minimize the browsers window to see it...

I try again and if you do not see the image, I'm lost. No dialog box hidden...

You can see this glass bigger then the one I have uploaded here by clicking :

I read somewhere in this forum that people needs to save in alpha. It would be fine if FF create a module or a component for that, in the case that filters's creators do not add this component when they create theirs filters.

There is an alpha component...When the filters author creates the filter it is up to them to add in this function...Here is that thread and scroll down to the middle for my replies..
Automatically adding that to a filter without the authors intervention would ruin the filter...Since it would not know what to automatically mask out...
