Fixed image component

Here's the reality: copyright. You can't expect everybody to be a law abiding citizen. You can't trust everybody who uploads material to be the 100% rights holder and the person able to claim rights given there's no way to verify and trust that verification across the internet. So yeah... it's quite tough.

Addendum:
Even if we embed images into a filter, the limitations of image size will become a major issue. For example, if I produce a bomber with embedded images, where each image is 250x250px. If my output resolution (lets just say) is 10,000x10,000 then that tiny little image will get scaled (depending on my settings). It'll produce pixelated results if it happens so that I want to have those bomber images scaled.

The power of FilterForge rests in the ability to internally generate imagery. The idea of it being that you can render those at any resolution and have them still look crisp.

Good points all around. I agree, more preview images. Just for fun, I've attached a test image in the new filter using a branch brush. Yeah, copyright is always a problem. When I release the new filter with a link to the brush files I created in Photoshop (mostly 200x200), I will post a copyright/use notice on the files for free use by anyone for any purpose. And yes I did consider making font brushes, but resisted...

I think ultimately that "workaround" kinda is a bit sluggish in the end. I gave it a shot a couple times.

By suggestion, however, if anybody's doing pixel artsy style images that script might work.
