For Upcoming versions of FF Project files:
Just bought the Pro version, would upgrade to Studio/standalone version if these issues would be solved:
When working with larger format images, creative process stymied by waiting for filters to apply. Sometimes a few hours depending on the complexity of the filter, and size of image.
Preview window at smaller, more manageable resolution is a winner.
The ability to apply multiple filters to an image would be much easier if FF project files would save each applied filter in a separate "layer".
example:
Layer 1 = Original image
Layer 2 = Original image, + Filter: Toycam-82
Layer 3 = Original image, + Filter: Retro Hipster analog Photo
Layer 4 = Original image, + Filter: Colored Bloom glow
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Result: preview window = Original image + Toycam-82. > Toycam-82+Retro Hipster analog Photo. > Retro Hipster analog Photo + Colored Bloom glow
Preview window would show the results of all 4 filters applied in sequence.
Clicking on a layer would bring up the parameter window for that filter only, which you could then adjust & readjust as needed.
Re-Sequencing filters
Layer 1 would always be the original image, but anything above Layer 1 could be shuffled, producing a different result, updated and pictured in the preview window.
If an applied filter doesn't seem to work as intended, it can be deleted, or swapped out of the stack
Hiding a layer would remove that filter from the filter chain, but not delete it from the Project file.
Chains would be save-able for future projects. similar to "actions" in PS.
Export to Layers -
Once all filters have been tweaked, and ready for export to PS or Affinity, hit "render" which will apply the filters in the Chain at full resolution, and each filter exported to a separate layer in PS/Affinity. -OR - select which filters to combine, and which ones to be exported as separate images.
Having Blending layer options would also be welcome.
