I would have to strongly disagree with the idea that filters can't be used as a
standalone avenue to quality Imagesmithying.......I often use nothing BUT filters to
create textures and tileable backgrounds. It is good (for us who havent mastered FF
yet) that any filter goes.....I look forward to seeing the guidlines =0)
