Stylize
msa Quad Mask
Allows you to create a four point (doesn't have to be rectangular) mask.
See http://www.memo.tv/projection_mapping_quad_warping_with_quartz_composer_... for demo and more info.
Set coordinates for 4 corners, and the patch masks or removes the selected area.
Tracer (all hues)
Modified version of Tracer QC found in OS X. The Hue parameter can now be set to values between 0 and 360. Other values remain unchanged: wet/dry; pace.
tb blurPixellate 1.0
Minor variation on XYPixellate.
Pixellation effect with separate controls for vertical and horizontal pixellation, and additional vertical and horizontal blurring effect.
Designed and tested in OS X 10.4 (Tiger), but should work in Leopard also.
Controls
Cell Width
Width of pixellation cells
Cell Height
Height of cells
Blur Horizontal
Horizontal blurring effect
Blur Vertical
Vertical blurring effect.
tb easyStatic 1.0
Creates random 'static-like' image.
Controls
Scale
Scale of noise
Colour / Mono
Colour or monochrome
tb chromaZoom 1.0 (Tiger Version)
Independent zoom for Red, Green and Blue channels, and master zoom control.
Inspired by Vade's chromatic aberration fragment shader.
Tiger version should also work in Leopard (but the layout of the patches is a bit messy).
tb metaImage 1.2 (Leopard)
MacOS X 10.5 (Leopard) version of metaImage.
See notes for Tiger version below.
tb metaImage 1.1 (Tiger)
Pixellation-type effect.
Recreates the image from tiny copies of itself.
Now updated with extra controls and a better scaling behaviour.
For MacOS X 10.4 (Tiger) systems.
Controls
Cell Size:
Size of pixellation cells.
Zoom Tile:
Zooms each 'meta-image' tile for added fun.
Mode:
Switches between 2 modes.
In Mode 1, the meta images have their colour multiplied with the average colour of the pixel-block (or cell).
In Mode 2, the average colour and the colour of the meta image are mixed.
Mix:
Sets mix-level between meta image and flat colour.
Only works when effect is in Mode 2
tb XYPixellate 1.0
Pixellation effect, with seperate controls for X and Y size of pixel blocks.
Controls
Width
Width of pixel block
Height
Height of pixel block
qVortex VDMX
Creates swirling feedback effect.
Quick VDMX qcFX port of qarl's qVortex Quartz Composer macro.
Adapted from the qPatchLib 0.2 macro library created by qarl and posted at the Quartzcompositions.com forum.
http://www.qarl.com/menu/qPatches/
Quite processor-heavy, so may not work particularly well on older or slower machines.
qMercurialMe VDMX
Reflects the input image in moving blobs of mercury.
Quick VDMX qcFX port of qarl's qMercurialMe Quartz Composer macro for VDMX.
Adapted from the qPatchLib 0.2 macro library created by qarl and posted at the Quartzcompositions.com forum.

tb photoboothLightTunnel
The Light-Tunnel effect from Apple's Photobooth application, with added 'tweakability'.
Controls
Size
size of uneffected area
Flip
Flips effect so that 'light rays' go in to centre, rather than out from it
Part of a series of emulations of Photobooth effects adapted from code in Libero Spagnolina's tutorial at http://dem.ocracy.org/libero/photobooth/
I may integrate this into thresholdStretch at some point in the future.
tb slitScan 1.0
Implementation of the classic slit-scan effect.
A single line of the input image shows through a slit, and a feedback effect causes pixels to stream out of the centre-line towards the edge of the screen, giving the effect of movement over an infinite plain.
Much-used in the 'Stargate' sequence in the film 2001.
Controls:
Angle
Angle of effect
Axis
Vertical or Horizontal variations
Centre Adjust
Adjust position of effect centre-line
Feedback
Level of feedback. Lower levels cause effect to fade out as it moves further from centre-line
Flip
Flips effect up/down left/right around centre-line
Freeze Input
Creates freeze-frame of input.
Rate
Rate of travel of effect.
Scan
'Scans' image up/down left/right behind slit.
tb thresholdStretch 1.2
Stretches pixels above/below or to the left/right of an adjustable threshold line.
Controls
Axis
Horizontal or vertical operation
Flip
Flips effect around selected axis
Position
Left/Right, Up/Down threshold position
Mode
Standard (0) mode shows image and stretched pixels.
Infinite (1) mode simply stretches pixels at threshold line across the entire width/height of the screen
tb 3DZoomBlur 1.5 (Tiger)
Zoom-blur effect with a difference. Multiple copies of the input image create a feedback-type effect. You can then zoom in and out and rotate the copies in various ways.
Now updated with better-behaved controls and new Inertia effect!
This version should also run on Leopard machines (though if you open it in Quartz Composer, the layout of the patches will be a bit messy).
Controls:
Copies
Number of copies of image
Rotate X
Orbit camera on X-axis
Rotate Y
Orbit camera on Y-axis
Rotate Z
Orbit camera on Z-axis
Zoom
Zoom camera in and out
Spread
Spacing of image copies
Inertia
Smooths action of Rotate, Zoom and Spread controls for more fluid movement.
Opacity
Opacity of copies
Blending Mode
Blend-mode of copies.
Smooth Edges
Fades edges of image copies, creating smoothing effect
tb thresholdPosterize 1.1
A simple but surprisingly effective qcFX.
Great for candy-coloured Warholesque effects.
Updated to version 1.2!
Settable threshold values for Red Green and Blue channels. Pixels in each channel with brightness above the threshold value are set to full brightness, while those whose brightness falls below the threshold are set to black.
Controls
Mode
Mode 1 maximizes colour channels above threshold level
Mode 2 maximizes colour channels above threshold level and cut them below
Threshold Red
Threshold for Red channel
Threshold Green
and for Green channel
Threshold Blue
..and finally for the blue
Invert
inverts the effect for a negative version
Smart Threshold
Applies a threshold to the image with upper and lower limits, smoothly interpolating between.
