AB Border Frames - New Series

Hi eadams,

Hope this will help in your quest to publish effects. I've chosen a very simple effect structure using one of my own effects called 'Altered hair textures and user tweaks 011' and just selected a new texture to replace the existing one.

Note, once an effect is published and in the Gallery the node containing the existing texture is called 'Load Internet Image' and in fact this is a combination of two nodes called 'Load Image' and 'Scale' - when you replace an existing texture, the 'Load Internet Image' is now shown as two separate nodes - 'Load Image' and 'Scale'.

Just try and follow the steps shown and see how you get on. Look forward to your results!

Thank you for the detailed instructions on how to modify an existing effect. Following the instructions, I am able to modify an existing effect and publish it as a new effect (either in the public effects library or as one of my local effects). What I still haven't figured out is

1. how to delete an unsuccessful effect that I have published either for the public or locally for my own use

or

2. how to replace an existing effect (that I created) with a new better modified version (like opening a file, making changes and saving it again). I always end up with two published versions of the effect - the old bad version and the new improved version.

I suspect that this may not even be possible, and that the only way to delete a public effect I have created would be to submit a support request to Anthropics.

In any case I appreciate all the help you are giving me!

Hi eadams,

At the moment there is no way to delete a local effect, nor for users to delete Gallery effects - if you are really unhappy with an effect posted to the Gallery, then I know it is possible to have it removed, as you rightly say, by contacting Anthropcs - I'm sure they will try to accommodate your request.

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi Andrew, and my dear friend,

Been following all your very helpful tutorials, and it's really a pleasure to see and learn from them. Your help just keeps getting better and better. Glad you posted some of your "other" applications. Corel Paint Shop Pro X6 really is a mighty fine program with lots of features--highly recommend it.

Today, I just mainly want to say thank you for all your effort to help others to be creative and better artists. So happy that we can share all our thoughts on SPE. Just think--I was 15 when you were born--now that's a thought. I'm still young at heart, and don't know where I'm going with this, so I'll just say "have a great day and keep healthy".

Hi Phelon my friend indeed,

Thank you for your lovely comments and thoughts. So pleased you are enjoying the tutorials - it is such a pleasure to SHARE ideas with others. My wife Anne & I look after one of our little granddaughters every Monday and we try to teach her to share as a way of life - she is really getting the hang of it now, and you will see her without prompting give one of her possessions to other children she meets from time to time. The essence of the SPE Community is based on the concept of Sharing and really only works well when there are interactions between users such as happens in this Forum and effect designers contribute their work to the community.

I think the effects that I build now are better because of these interactions - notable Arwin (who I've missed of recent) and I have collaborated on a number of effect types and brought about improvements through sharing.

I know my friend you are still young at heart (even taking into your 15 years start on me), and this comes over in your enthusiasm for sharing your ideas and encouraging the work of others. You are a very fine artist indeed, and I have enjoyed your many submissions to the forum - each one a delight to the eye.

Your contributions have not only encouraged me, but enlightened me also.

Keep up the good work and likewise stay healthy and never lose your enthusiasm.

Have a creative and joyful day.

Regards,

Andrew
