I have thought that maybe it could be put a single thread here for making a list of persons that are FF expert and have a high knowledge about making filters that could want to rent and offer their services for making filters to others people with a budget.

There is a world out there that mostly do not know how to make FF filters as they wanted to fill a specific task, and if they need it for some works, some could be able to pay for making a filter for them, specially if they are going to earn money working with that filter.

As the only reward that Filter Forge Inc. gives for making filters is discounts or free FF software, it would be good also to be able to experienced FF users to benefit from getting some money from this too.

The problem I see with this is how much to charge for making a filter?

Obviously it would depend on how complex the filter may be.

How to calculate how much time it will be needed to make that filter? Maybe Freelancers and designers could know better how this is done.

All the amazing and awesome FF experience that some of you already have could be used to get also some money for making filters and not just for FF designs results.

Now that I am learning how to make FF value much more the hard work of many of you that have already made all the filters available in the FF library and how complex it may be.

This is just an idea I had and really do not know if would be good or not

Nobody would like this idea above?

I know that it would not be an easy thing to make customized filters to others, as many do not know the work involved in making the filter and what limitation does FF have and my want things complex to make in FF, thinking they may be easy. And there is always the problems that may arise between client and creator, as it happens usually with freelancers and designers.

MAKE FILTERS AND SELL THEM?

I know that that there are many authors that do awesome filters but they do not want to give them for free in the FF library (or forum) for many different reasons.

Well, another idea I have thought is that instead of doing a filter especific for a person as suggested in the post above, you can do a filter yourself with your own ideas and put a price on it and offer it here to someone that would like it and buy it.

I would buy it if the price is good and the filter is something I like

Well you're asking a ton of deep questions and I don't want to leave generalizations. So yeah... guess that's all I gotta say.

Yes, I know that these questions are not simple and light questions and involves many things and be really answered simply, but anyway I think that it could be done and if any one wants could jump and dare to offer their services here in the FF forum, or make some filters and sell them in the forum too.

I do not think that FF Inc. would not allow to make this, although really I do not know.

While I like the fact that FF filters in the Library are free to FF users. Also I like that so many are willing to share with others.
I also think that the opportunity to earn money creating FF filters for a paying client could be a good thing. I think the skills are worth getting paid for.
As to whether or not that's allowed I don't know.

Like most other things there is the question of how much is your time worth for the filter author...
Myself I always let the "buyer of the filter" dictate the price (what is it worth to them) then I go from that and negotiate if its worth the time....There are some that I did filters for (outside the internet life) that made it worth the time.......
Then some I did for free cause it was just plain fun... smile;) smile:)
