Acid Wash Photo Edge

This is a sneak peek; was loaded to the Gallery this morning.

Especially want to show this to StevieJ since he is a Photo-Buff.

To all I was surprised when I searched the Gallery that there was no Acid Wash for photos. I believe Auto FX has a similar rendering in one of their 300.00 filters and wanted to see if I couldn't make one.

Holding my breath to see if it passes by Stevie... He knows his photography.

The photo is one I took of a Cosmos flower from my yard last year.

And this is what I have in the About area for the filter:

Grey scales the outer edges of an image and sets two acid wash tones.

Filter includes 18 Presets.

There is an option to remove the blue acid tone.

P.S. To Stevie, I'm open to and Acid Wash 2 if you have any preferences on how you'd like to see the wash.

Same Filter with Blue Remove checked from the settings panel.

Personally, I would like to see the outside edge color more seemlessly blend into the image colors.....so there is no discernable color line. Could be done different ways on separate filters.....one version faded with blur.....and another faded with particles from noise distortion (like my "Disintegrator" filter).....or could actually use a combination of both.....which I think would look pretty cool.....

I really like this!!!

Bear in mind I'm not making fancy graphics just quick examples... so the graphics aren't that great. JMO

Now the texture in this one is my scrapbooking filter - not part of the Acid Wash Fitler.

((Kyoto Color works great when playing with these too)).

Didn't spend alot of time on the graphics- just quickies.

Oh, sorry, I should have explained my Dilla filter comparison better.....I was trying to point out that people seem to really like those types of rough edge effects.....

The frame effects above are excellent!!! I got thrown off by what I thought you were trying to do with the flower pics.....and didn't realize that you "wanted" an inside edge.....me bad

I can already tell that you are quite a worker!!! At this pace, you'll be making filters like dilla next week LOL....

((((Stevie))))

You've been so incredible and supportive~

LOL Yes, inside edge with grey scale on the actual edge.

15 filters (Acid Wash and Black Hills Gold are not showing in the Gallery, but that will make 17- they are loaded just not showing yet.) in 18 days- with 12 days left. LOL

Hey forgot to tell you but your Avatar is very very nice~ Solar Storm right? Or Aurora Borealis?

Hi Steve,

I have been listening to your filter suggestions and made a great acid wash for the entire image. Called Acid Wash 2. Working on a filter right now then will start on the photo edge acid wash------> Love your suggestions.

Now about my filters, LOL. Don't be quick to assume they are not quality. *grin* I'll stand by the quality of each filter; understand your concern but want to assure you each is tested and made with care. I'm not trying to get a whole bunch up just to get filters up; it just so happens I'm pouring myself into filters right now and I do know enough about filters and graphics to sculpt them in the time I am doing.

About Updates: I've already added updates and have more planned as each filter does get maintained. I know your only concerned as a friend and wanted to reassure you each filter is getting 'loved'.

I stayed up till 3 am last night making a filter and gotta tell you... darn nice filter. And not a thing further I want to do to it (it's on the way to the Gallerys now and cant' wait for you to see it). All my filters do not go up until they are 'done'. Unless one catches me off guard like the diamonds one did----> only wants to work on solid background with a certain hex number. I wouldn't change that one either because the filter draws from the base colors to make the diamonds. Without the base colors the diamonds are not as clear and crisp. Because the only way FF will make them is to pull from the reflection of those colors. ((Cut them out and load them as stamps or tubes and they work great for that)).

Bear in mind I have a decade of graphics and filter experience so I do know what I'm doing when it comes to that----> maybe that's why I'm quick. Now with that said some of them take a long time as I have more then one filter going at the same time. (((Don't we all)) And I won't load it till I think it's ready.

Now I am adding more controls--- like the one I stayed up till 3am to work on--- but they are standard controls. My style will never be to put alot of needless controls in the settings area to look smart; the filter itself looks smart and the controls I put in will always be to a minimum that are necessary and easy to use for the end user. I like to filter to speak for itself.

LOL about the Black Sheep of the family!~ Me too LOL

Not too worried about the free copy because my filters are good. When a filter is done it's done. Then it's loved some more when it's updated; as mine are updated if it needs an update.

((((Your a good friend Steve)))). But don't worry; the quality is good. Promise.

And wait till you see the one from last night. (((Will it take till Monday to show in the Gallery?)))

P.s. If you mean the acid wash on this one... I wanted this look--- the acid wash has to be semi rough- as it's eating into the image. I like your suggestions but the current look I'll stand by the quality. It's a great filter. I'm asking for your suggestions on number 2 (and this one) because I like your input. If you ever feel a filter of mind is not quality please do let me know which filter because each and every one is made with love and care before going to the Gallery. (((( And yes you are VERY helpful))). In fact when doing the Acid Wash versions I refer back to this thread and reread. TY!~ Good ideas Oh,,, and Acid Wash is on the way to the Gallery... this new one is an overall Acid Wash and I love it. Will see if I can't post a pic of it later. It was inspired by your noise suggestions.

http://www.filterforge.com/filters/ca...page1.html (These are the first two filters I made (Scrapbooking Paper and Groovy----> they have stayed at the top of this category; Diamonds Maker is mine, but it's new so don't know if it will stay near the top). Quality baby!~ LOL I'll stand by the quality~ On all of them. And I think I'm beating you in one of them... ROFL. Can't remember what filter... but won't post that one. (((Hugs?))

Thanks Sherry

Jean

Oh you want to see some sliders on that bad boy filter~! LOL

I love this filter. Pure Genius~ LOL ((toot toot))



No no offense taken. I'll email my thoughts on it for you if you want- have them saved to notepad and ready to send.

Metallic Emboss is great for fonts... Attaching one. And this is a graphic those beginning to make graphics could do with just clicking and no sliders.

Simple tutorial for the attached image:

One application of 'Industrial Paint Powder Coat' filter (one click on a preset), then one application of 'Metallic Emboss' (one click on a preset). And last a varnish of 'Lab Enhance by Ron Viers' (one click on a preset). The font is Britannic Bold. Add a shadow and done. Layering filters with one click for beginners is a fantastic place for them to start with filters. And the beginner can have fun and stay in a user friendly setting.

I wasn't going to make a version 2 for this filter but will most certainly think about a version two now that I know one is wanted. And I'll give it tons of sliders with some kind of twist (would be fun to make). I'd like the orginal version to stay simple for beginners of course while they learn layering filters. [Easier to learn this with one click for filter applications for them.] And keeps the application quick for advanced users who just want to get the rendering in their paint program so that they can do their thing.

I do take requests and will most certainly consider tons of sliders for a version 2. I'm honored~ Anytime you have a request on a filter.. always let me know.

Metallic Emboss Attached.

Jean

Those look nice

Yeah, I'm a "control freak" LOL....

No need to send thoughts.....I understand.....and you are doing fine

I haven't been spending much time here lately.....because I've been burried in work.....trying to get on a health kick by getting back to the gym.....and trying to quit smoking. Mornings are brutal.....because I love a cigarette with my coffee in the morning
