    Sorry to necro this thread, but...

    I am trying to get the wood cut effect and I don't think it is working at all.

    I have created a 6x1 3b 3w pattern and followed the instructions, and ever time it turns out like this.

    The ripple never looks wavy and the effect just looks wrong.

    Can someone help me pretty please and tell me what I am doing wrong?

    Are you using ripple or ocean ripple? Ocean ripple gives a much different effect, more like beveled round-corner squares (if you've ever watched the series "20th Century Battlefields" on the Military Channel they do their oceans with an ocean ripple effect). Ripple will produce waves and then there's also the wave filter that has about a million different possible outcomes what with all of its sliders and number-input boxes.

    Am using Ripple, not Ocean Ripple.

    Should I use Ocean Ripple instead?

    No. I've no idea what's going on here.

    Could it be the pattern I am using?

    It is 6 tall and 1 wide, with black and white alternating... is that maybe not the right way to do that pattern?

    I was just checking that, it seems fine. Shoot me a screenie showing your ripple window open so that I can see the settings.

    Got it, change the amount from 50% to 100% and then try medium and large ripples to see what you prefer.

    That doesn't look right at all, from the wave shape it looks like the wave filter (running this on my PS as we go along here) and I have no idea what's going on with the colored noise appearing. I guess, go back to the pattern and increase the size of it 200% or make a 12x1 pattern.
