Black & White Filter Style is one of the most powerful Filter Style of the Lobster application.If it was mentioned earlier in this tutorial that this application can also be considered as a 'Filter Factory' then this is one of the filter style that can single handedly prove why this software is also a 'Filter Factory'.Black & White Filter Style also applies the same algorithm of using the 'Threshold' and but applies not one but two filters on a single image.'Threshold' is the input field which is used to enter the value which will decide which pixels should be applied with the first filter which will be chosen by the user from the 'Filter' tab and the second filter can be chosen by the user from the 'Filter Style' tab which will show 'Second Filter and QRGB' panel for the input fields for the second filter.For e.g :- If the 'Threshold' is 128 then most of the darker pixels will be applied the first filter from the 'Filter' tab while the brighter pixels will be applied with the second filter from the 'Filter Style' with its own settings from 'Second Filter and QRGB' panel.This is the reason why the same filter with two different QRGB settings can be set and tried out with Black & White Filter Style.To learn about QRGB feature,Click Here.
'Custom Pattern Filtering' was designed to overcome writing the source code for new patterns as 'Custom Pattern Filtering' can extract the patterns / designs from any image. Actually,'Custom Pattern Filtering' can extract atleast 6 patterns from any image through the use of Threshold value, Edges and Custom Color. 'Custom Pattern Filtering' can be used to even extract 'Vector Graphics' and '3D Graphics' from any image. Even though, it does very difficult tasks, Custom Pattern Filtering is very easy to learn and use.
'Double Filter Style' is another filter style which is used for innovation in the Lobster application. 'Double Filter Style' is provided to combine any two filters using the 'Pattern Filtering' without overwritting each other. User will be shown an example of two filters overwritting each other using the 'Pattern Filtering' without 'Double Filter Style' and then using 'Double Filter Style where' two filters are used with 'Pattern Filtering' but they donot overwrite each other.
'Black FIlter Style' is used to apply filter only to the 'Black Area' of the image. 'Black Area' are the darker pixels of the image and the user can very precise while defining which pixels even though dark should be included while applying the filter. 'Threshold' is the input field which is used to enter the value which will decide which pixels should be included in the 'Black Area' and which pixels should be excluded - 'White Area' while applying the filter to the image canvas.
'White Filter Style' is used to apply filter only to the 'White Area' of the image. 'White Area' are the brighter pixels of the image and the user can very precisely define which brighter pixels should be included while applying the filter.'Threshold' is the input field which is used to enter the value which will decide which pixels should be included in the 'White Area' and which pixels should be excluded - 'Black Area' while applying the filter on the image canvas.
'Brightness Filter Style' extracts the brightness from every pixel of the image in the 'Filter Style' tab to apply the selected filter to the pixel at the same position to the image in the canvas.As much the brightness of the pixel in the image from the 'Filter Style' tab that much the filter quantity applied to the image using the selected filter.Also equally important thing is that the results of this Filter Style depend only on the brightness and have nothing to do with colors of the image in the 'Filter Style Tab'.
Edges is the outline of the shapes and textures in the images and can be clearly visible in the 'Sketch' Filter of the lobster application. Actually,'Sketch' filter is only made of the edges of an image. It is enough to filter the edges of the image to create a different effect for the image.Though, the user can use any filter of the Lobster application and create very innovative effects just by changing the filters from the 'Filter' tab. 'Edge Filter Style' uses 'Edge Quantity' to increase or decrease the edges in the image canvas to be filtered by the current filter of the Lobster application.
'Not Edge Filter Style' is used to filter the area not having the edges of the image with any filter of the Lobster application. Edges is the outline of the shapes and textures in the images and can be clearly visible in the 'Sketch' Filter of the lobster application. This Filter Style is very conditional and therefore only works with 'Combine Images' Filter or 'Textures' filter. Though, the user can use any filter of the Lobster application but the results will not be good.
'Edge & Not Edge Filter Style' is used to filter the area having the edges of the image with one filter and the area not having the edges with another filter of the Lobster application.Edges is the outline of the shapes and textures in the images and can be clearly visible in the 'Sketch' Filter of the lobster application.'Edge & Not Edge Filter Style' again is very powerful and can create hundreds of filters on its own.
'Glass Design Filter Style' is another Filter Style which is used to create new filters from the existing filters and can be used with any filters of the Lobster application. Though, 'Glass Design Filter Style' is just an example to the users as to how to create 'New Filter Styles' of their own without writing a single line of source code by merging a specific filter with other filters of the Lobster application to create 'New Version of that specific filter'.
'Transparent Filter Style' is designed with the intention to combine any two filters,images or plugins to create totally a new filter,image or plugin.The 'Transparency' input field allows the user to decide which filter appears the most in the new filter.If the 'Transparency' is set to 20 then 80% first filter will be visible while the 20% second filter will be visible. Filter Style'
'Marker Filter Style' is designed with the intention to combine any two filters to create totally a new filter.The 'Transparency' input field allows the user to decide which filter appears the most in the new filter.If the 'Transparency' is set to 20 then 80% first filter will be visible while the 20% second filter will be visible. As the 'Transparency' increases the filter will fade anyway into the second filter creating a new filter. User can adjust the 'Transparency' input field to decide which filter appears the most in the new filter.
