Good work!

Does anyone want to help us out with this?
You can take any functions or commercial or built-in filters you know from
Photoshop or PSP or PhotoPaint, etc... and try to make a similar, if not
exact, reproduction coding.

You can post it in FF or FiFo annotation or publish some theoretical
notes...

Although FF and FiFo cannot combine two images or two layers, you still can
create like new textures and combine them with the original image. This is
used very often in FF codes.

I won't be updating the FFPG any more. Several reasons:
- We have now a FF successor (FiFo), hopefully we will be seeing some FM as
well
- I am writing my thesis ;-)

That's why I proposed on a new FAQ, whose codes can be taken and used in FF,
FiFo and FM. BTW, has someone heard of the "BMP wizard"? I think Mr Benoni
discontinued it...

Greetings,

Wern
