I've been trying to find a way to make Ghost Diagrams useful. Quite by accident, I discovered they make very appealing ornate patterns, like tin pressed ceiling tiles, etc.

This is a seamless pattern, so grab it if you like it.

That was my overall feeling with it, as well. I love the idea the program/plug-in produces the diagrams, but they never seem to be useful. Until you pull a Photocomix routine on them with tileable rotations. But first, I ran the "My First Filter" in GMIC at 45 degrees, fill the empty space "like the borders". Create an embossed pattern, then run Rob A's GOLD method via lighting effects. You can use any metallic pattern as your environment map.

Speak of the devil and he shows up, hahaha.

Ninja'ed by the devil himself! :ninja ;)

Just back from the eye's doctor ( or whatever you call it in english ) he says i will need several months for a full recovery BUT also that in a week or 2 i should be able to work again with the computer...(just taking care to make frequent break

So be ready to be flooded by the devil's patterns...

Ditto what Molly said, looking forward to it, as well.

Another Ghost Diagram tile:

Also seamless. If you like it, steal it.
