    If you option drag a processor in the processor chain list it makes a copy of it.

    Is it possible to duplicate processors in the processor chain?  I've got a processor that I'd like to duplicate and edit by hand and was wondering if that's possible without having to either export/import a preset or drag one over from the processor library and editing by hand.

Two MSG Features that Prompt Artistic Self-Discovery

Suppose you want to find out more about what kind of artist you are, or would like to be. There are two features of MSG that make it a very powerful jump-starter for these kinds of artistic self-discovery or improvement. (To follow along, start by choosing 'MSG Advanced Editor' from the SA Windows menu). The first jump-starter is provided by the Help menu (press Cmd-8 on a Mac to bring it up), when you choose 'MSG Editing Commands', and then some specific item such as 'Abstract…

Quilt Pattern Generators

There is a discussion about MSG based quilt pattern generator processors and how to use them available here. the quilt pattern generator processors are designed to be stacked together to create more complex patternings. The example above uses 2 stacked 3C QuadBlock Tile CP processors to create the abstract procedural patterning. It's also using built in drop shadowing to build a sensation of depth into the image. The MSG preset for the example above is attached below.Stacked QuadBlock Tile2
