Nice with some new build in preview images smile:-)
https://www.filterforge.com/download/b...mages.html

It would be useful with a few simple text and shapes samples too.
Something like a Filter Forge themed "tag cloud", a "Lorem Ipsum" text image (maybe with different fonts) or a shape flash sheet.

Great to have more image choices, what is missing is any people or faces, which is a common usage of filters.
{ Look at the User gallery as an example of the percentage of images using people ]

Here is Quad Weirdness using a new preview image (Cherry Basket).

I agree, more humanity style pictures would be nice.

GREAT THING

Great and awesome news that after so many years there will now be more preview images and that they will be shown in preview window instead of the file menu and is something very good to have, and maybe this way it could be added maybe even more images later.

Finally there are some landscape sized images (I mean NON-square images) so is great to have this too

BAD THING

I am sorry to say that although is a great idea, I think that is bad to REMOVE all the previous images because maybe the FF users with 12 years that are used to already using the default built in images may want to STILL use these images BECAUSE there are NO new images similar in shapes and format to the ones that they replace, and the new ones are not really good enough for testing and really showing truly what FF can do and make it shine.

Is a pity that there are no human images, no animal images, no flowers, no text, no round circular images like the previous lifesaver, and others....

If the previous built-in images are not going to be included anymore, the should be at least some similar images that have similar shape, format and background style than the ones removed.

No animals, no flowers and no lifesaver? Really?

SpaceRay, you should take a look at the program first and complain later, not the other way round.

J'aime ta création Rachel.

Il y a plus d'images, c'est bien. Si FF team a besoin de coraux, j'en ai a la tonne et je pourrais lui en refiler une ou deux.

OH I am very sorry that I do not know at all that the FF 11 beta was already available for download and testing as there has not been any thread about this topic, and I was wrong thinking that the only thing available for FF11 was just this thread and was not showing all the information.

Please GMM you are allowed and free to delete my previous post and this one too, as is surely wrong and I was mistaken that the beta download was not available for me to test

Love the new preview images! Add my vote to the request for human faces, though. Given the abundance of public domain portraits out in the wild, this seems a strange omission. There shouldn't be any legal issue with anything in the public domain, but even if that were a concern, there's always thispersondoesnotexist.com, which uses deep learning AI to generate portraits such as this one (attached) of people who do not exist.

Cool another link that makes virtual non existing realistic people and as you say these do not have any legal restrictions.

https://generated.photos
website that makes Human Generated Photos by AI very realistic of all races and ages

If you do not want to create one yourself, there are already 2,684,090 free AI generated photos faces AND what is very important is that you can FILTER very much what you may want with different options (although adding too many filter options will reduce the amount of results given)

Although maybe the reason for not putting human faces can be the available diversity and racism, and maybe I think that you can not put just one portrait, as there are many kind of humans and if put only white female and male, then black people, asian people, indian people, arab people and others could complain that they are not included and represented. About the age it should be adult.

So I think that the maybe the minimum amount would be at least 10 = 2 white, 2 black, 2 asian, 2 indian, 2 arab (the order here is by amount of people in the world)
Sorry if I do not include others, but I put the most majority and is not that I do not care of others.
