and Fracdillyisious mirror.
Lyle you pushed me into this madman type pull out my hair creativity.





Currently working on this one - Liquid-Blue-Print until i come up with a better name.

Your Fracdillyisious preset looks quite promising Rod. Add some Anisotrophic smoothing and it may actually get you there. Again, Filter Forge is on my wish list ahead of even Fractilus. lol

I am trying to get a hold of David to see if he wants to get together on this filter.

I thought you asked for David's email earlier and was about to respond to you before that got erased so thought that you figured it out. I only know of his email that he posted under his G'MIC profile Rod and otherwise I just correspond via Flickr PMs. He's in France I believe and it's past midnight now not to mention it is the weekend and he does have some parental obligations too (i.e., he has a new baby; lol). I'm sure when he can, he will be able to contact you if you already tried to email him Rod.

That is a cool preset
I even have Filter Forge but i almost never used. not because is not cool just i like more when i may look in the program innards as for gmic (not that i understand much of Gmic innnards but commercial sw didn't even allow to try )

Still i may resurrect my old copy stored somewhere

@Ljleyk

Would be so cool if also gmic would integrate a nodal mode to assemble new filters
I even try to create Gmic filters ,i am happy of the results

but each filter i did had a high price, days of fighting with code
... assemble the same filters as graphic nodes would have taken minutes

I love node editing.GMIC with node editing would be the coolest thing.

I was monkeying around thinking about smoothing as Lyle mentioned before, when i decided to turn the filter into a surface type.That way i could add lighting.WOW!
I accidentally stumbled upon/created a new filter.

Fracdillyisious Under Glass or possibly Fracdillyisious Under Wraps not sure yet.



Well back to the smoothing problem

How about a little gamma instead?
I added a gamma tone curve to the red channel and voila!
Thinking of adding the tone curve to green and blue as well.
What do you think?
Oh i borrowed the flower from another post for an example.Hope they do not mind.

Now this one really is Fractilus Rod. Well done indeed.

Great results, Rod!! I love the effects you're getting.

I don't know how you filter gurus do it but y'all produce impressive results.

Thanks Lyle, and Tux.Be nicer to get this into GMIC though!

I have tried and tried to get this same effect in GMIC, and Gimp using the methods in the filter.
And i just can not get the blur to come out correctly.
I can not wait to talk to David and see if he knows how to put this together correctly.

Here are some results i did get though (fooling around)



Sorry about the huge images.

Hey Rod; Craig (RetouchPRO) is very interested in your Fracdillyisious preset (mentioned it in a recent thread I started over there). Not sure you posted it at the FilterForge forum (not sure even how that works), but please let me know if it would be alright to give your contact info to him if necessary.

Also, I couldn't resist playign with your flower (with Rodilius Organic flow of course).

This looks like fun to play with!

oo I like the flower Rod

Hy Rod cool preset but...where is ?
Also the filters download from Filter Forge seems broken

Anyway i got the last beta becausei see i may have some chances to get for free licence (not sure if i can make sufficently popular filters but i saw that also bug report count...and i believe there is something in my way to misuse sw that reveal bugs )

PC i will send it to your email.
Place it in your
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Filter Forge 2\My Filters folder
It will only work in version 2 and the new 3 beta.Just a heads up.

Just found this thread; I would too be interested in your Fracdillyisious preset, Rod.

Unfortunately although i still have 4 and 5 installed in my 32 bit program files folder, the filter is el missing oh! =) Guess ill have to get to work on that one again. Cool thing is i have 5 still so i can create some for you guys to play with.
Maybe a computer search will turn it up. I believe its on my old desktop drive though. =(

I really need to learn to save these to a flash drive

I don't know if it's in this thread anywhere, but is there a way to share homemade filters?
