Hi....
I'm SCARLET
The PIRATE VOYAGER
Bringing you another
EXTREME IMAGING
Tutorial.
This one deals with extreme numbers for
F/X SWIRL also using F/X IMPLODE.
First I will lay out the recommended basic formula,
followed by examples.
This is a somewhat rare Imaging theory because once you complete the Implode step you might be tempted not to Composite.
The outcome is so awesome that Composite is optional.
Sometimes this concept can be used to replace the "-60" Implode exercise. Other times it can be used to replace, in an X-TREME way, the "Swirl, -2 -1 Implode Concept".
Other times you will just be surprised at the outcome, being unique onto itself.

GENERAL FORMULA

Using any Image Magick Studio
Input your graphic
F/X SWIRL= 5000-10000
(you can go higher but you are basicly just using up bytes at that point)
F/X IMPLODE=2-6
(depending on how you like it)
You can Composite the graphic with itself, with another or move on.
I suggest fine-tuning with
ENHANCE, EFFECTS and/or DECORATE
ANNOTATE

OUTPUT@25


EXAMPLES

STEPS EFFECTS/SWIRL=10000, EFFECTS/IMPLODE=4, COMP/DIFFERENCE (WHICH WILL MAKE THE "INSIDE" & THE "OUTER PARTS" OF THE GRAPHIC INDISTINGUISHABLE) PAINT FLOODFILL 1000 (THE "INSIDE" OF THE SWIRL/IMPLODE) COMPOSITE/MULTIPLY (NOW THE "INSIDE" OF THE GRAPHIC WILL SHOW "INSIDE" OF THE SWIRL/IMPLODE WHILE THE "OUTER PARTS" OF THE GRAPHIC WILL BE UNDISTINGUISHABLE) ENHANCE/BRIGHT=130, ENHANCE/SATURATE=150	INTERGALACTIC BOWLING
STEPS F/X SWIRL=10000, F/X IMPLODE=2, COMPOSITE/DIFFERENCE ENHANCE/SATURATE=130, ANNOTATE, OUTPUT @25,	THE GOLDEN GLOBE
STEPS F/X SWIRL=10000, F/X IMPLODE=2, ENHANCE/SAT=250, DECORATE 10X10 RAISE NO COLOR ANNOTATE, OUTPUT @ 25	KINETICS
STEPS F/X SWIRL=10000, F/X IMPLODE=2, COMPOSITE/DIFFERENCE (USING "BALL ON TABLE" ENHANCE/SAT=250, DECORATE 10X10 RAISE NO COLOR ANNOTATE, OUTPUT @ 25	FANTASY STILL-LIFE
STEPS F/X SWIRL=7000 F/X IMPLODE=2 COMPOSITE/DIFFERENCE ENHANCE/SATURATE=140, TRANSFORM CROP=+0-35 DECORATE 2X1 DARKORANGE BORDER ANNOTATE, OUTPUT @25,	BLUE ROSE MOON
STEPS ENHANCE/NEGATE, F/X SWIRL=10000, F/X IMPLODE=2, COMPOSITE/DIFFERENCEX2 ENHANCE/SATURATE=110, DECORATE 10X10 SINK NO COLOR, ANNOTATE OUTPUT@25	THE COLOR GLOBE
STEPS TRANSFORM/FLOP, COMPOSITE/DIFFERENCE F/X SWIRL=10000, F/X IMPLODE=3, EFFECTS/EDGE DETECT=0.0X1.0, COMPOSITE/BLEND -35+0, ENHANCE/SATURATE=140, RESIZE ANNOTATE, OUTPUT @ 25	CYBERGOTH GLIMMER
STEPS USED ORIGINAL FROM ABOVE "GLIMMER" TRANSFORM/FLOP COMPOSITE/DIFFERENCE F/X SWIRL=7000 F/X IMPLODE=3.4 COMPOSITE/DIFFERENCE ENHANCE/SATURATE=200 ANNOTATE OUTPUT @ 25	BEAUTY IN DEATH
