Filter Forge - Ability to fade filter effect

Active Topics Search

doyt Posts: 12	I've never been able to figure out the Filter Editor, so perhaps the ability is located there, if so I wish it was easier to do. What I would like to see is a fade the strength of the filter slider in FF along the lines of the Fade feature under the edit tab of Photoshop. Perhaps it could be in the settings tab of the filter or in the main Tools tab. Often times I will fade the strength of the filter once I get back to Photoshop. Having to wait for the filter to render in Photoshop before you can fade the effect seems to be counter intuitive and time intensive. The ability to see the result before leaving FF would be greatly appreciated.

lipebianc FFF = Filter Forge Fan Posts: 566 Filters: 12	You mean, like a "MASTER OPACITY" slider? I needed something like that several times... It would great to have this, specially on EFFECT filters, as an independent control (every filter would have one) that just uses a basic "normal" blend mode to reduce the effect strength inside filter forge fastly (effect rendering won't restart when you tweak it). Doyt, right now the only way I know to do this is editing filters you like/use a lot and create you own "MASTER OPACITY" control using "blend" component at the end of the components chain inside the editor (I've been doing that for many of my own filters)....But I really don't recommend that, because you won't be sending usage stats and rewarding authors hard work using a modified filter Any thoughts on how to solve this???
