Oh, also, if you're learning CIFilter Slang, I'd recommend also trying to pick up a bit of JavaScript too, if you haven't already done so. The JavaScript pane of the Core Image Filter patch is very handy for pre-processing control signals before passing them on to the Kernel function itself, among other things. I've not fully explored all the possibilities yet, but you can also do cool things like apply different kernel functions, pass the input image through a chain of custom filter functions, and even apply other Core Image filters, all in the same patch. Good for eliminating noodle clutters in QC. The only caveat is I'd avoid filters that change the dimensions of the image in any way, or things will get confusing.

JavaScript is syntactically quite similar to GLSL/CIFilters Slang, so shouldn't be too hard to pick up. It's also got a dedicated QC Patch, which is useful for all kinds of things.

Would anyone recommend good resources for learning GLSL and Core Image
programming, intended for use in QC? I'm not much into scripting, but am
finding increasing motivation for learning the basics.
