# Yeah.
 
I've been wanting to make a filter joke about these pictures, but it just doesn't seem funny.

It's a neat effect, though.

Edit:
Ashally I don't use this very often any more, I found a way around most of it immediately after writing it, duh.
And it's only a starting point to generate the the 'dots'... it's mainly offset layers and blending modes after that.

# Ugh.
 
What syntax is that?

Java? C? PHP?

I should recognise it but I don't.

# It's Javascript.
It turns out you can script photoshop.
I was after a particular effect and wrote this, which work pretty well but very slowly.
Then about an hour after finishing it, I found a really quick way to achieve most of what this can do without any code at all.
I still use it sometimes though, there are a couple of things it can do that are difficult to achieve in other ways.
It's only really a starting point, but it was actually kind of fun to write, just as an exercise in scripting something other than a browser or a flash movie.

# Pfft
these pics are the only ones I ever use code in, and if you wanted to make something similar you could use that code as a starting point.
I'm sorry it upset you, though I don't understand why it should, or why it would change your perception of the pic. You could always hide the post I guess.

if you know how to use it you could make something with it. It's exactly the same as sharing a technique... think of it as a very precise tutorial, if that makes you feel any better.

# If there is an argument that can't be resolved with the sharing of cake and the loosening of bondage pants, I'm not aware of it.
Except maybe "These bondage pants are too loose" or "I'm sick of eating cake" or "These bondage pants are too loose and I'm sick of eating cake"

Other than that, it's sweet.
