Thanks for the reminder. I've dug out what I've did before and it shouldn't take too much time to finish but I'll be at an SVG Working Group meeting this week. So maybe next week...

Hi Friends, For a long time I've been trying to learn how to create new Inkscape filters. I mean starting from scratch, not just building on existing filters. I've been able to do some very simple things, but my efforts usually devolve into one at a time, trying every option available. By sheer chance, I sometimes end up with something that might be useful. It would be so very helpful if someone could write a guide, which explains the basic concepts. I think I've finally managed to work out how the Filters Editor works. But I'm missing the basic concepts which would help me make decisions about 'what to do next'. I have contacted people who I know have created filters, who know how to do it, but without success in finding the info needed. And I thought about adding this to the Community To-Do List page. It's a lot like the need for a guide to writing extensions, I guess. But for some reason, it seems to me like more of a request for a tutorial, and that's not exactly what that page is for (I don't think). Although if it seems to the website team like it's appropriate, I can see to adding it there. But otherwise, I thought I'd just make a request to the user community. Can anyone either volunteer to write such a tutorial? Or otherwise point me (and everyone) to some resources for learning how?

Thank you very much :-)

Some time ago I started a blog post on how designing a "fabric" filter effect but never finished it. If you can remind me in a couple of weeks I can try to get it finished (I'm on vacation at the moment).

So this is a reminder for you to do it, per your request.
