ImageFX through ForgeFX or Photoshop both use common mathematical 
formulas for special effects. These formulas can be easily modified
and collected. Collecting them is easy, but finding out what they do
can be time consuming if you have a large collection. There is web
pages with these image collections, but I never could find the one I
wanted when I wanted it, so I've rendered a few for myself. I'm only
half done... but here's part of my collection to date. Most of the
image names should match up with with names of filters that are
currently available. If you've got better, more useful filters or 
tips... pass them along.

This is a Collector V3.5 index file of some 600+ thumbnails of one
image. The original image was handy, when I started
(created with Qbist) and is included. I originally used a 1600X1200X8
screen to view these, so I've saved the index off as 640X480X8 to make
the index a little practable for more users.
