Filter Forge - [Smudge] Composite Source option

I'd call it Composite Source, or something like that. Essentially, this would switch between two results: **Trail OVER Source or Trail ONLY*. Consider the following example (image below): I'm currently building a godrays-style effect filter. What you see below is a Selection* modulated with a Perlin Noise, transformed to polar coordinates, smudged, then transformed nack to cartesian coordinates. The problem is, I can't get rid of the selection and noise underneath the rays without destroying the rays (i.e. subtracting the Source doesn't work). --- Crapadilla says: "Damn you, stupid redundant feature requests!" ;)

Crapadilla lvl 52 Filter Weaver and Official "Filter Forge Seer" Posts: 4365 Filters: 65	As you can see below, subtracting the Source is not ideal. Take note of what happens to the rays on the inner ring and the 'rope part' on the outer ring. --- Crapadilla says: "Damn you, stupid redundant feature requests!" ;)

Examples below... Smudge on a source with no transparency: --- Crapadilla says: "Damn you, stupid redundant feature requests!" ;)
