Can Filter Forge run as a plug-in for GIMP [v2.8]? GIMP does not recognize the .8bf filetype. I don't have much experience with this stuff.

There is a list somewhere where is put what software is supported as host for filter Forge, but I do not remember where is it. I do not know if Gimp is included in it, but perhaps if you copy the plugin and it does not work probably is not compatible, ALTHOUGH I think that Rod_D said something about a workaround trick to put plugins in Gimp, or maybe I am wrong.

are you sure gimp doesnt accept .8bf's? i used it a long time back and i thought it did, but maybe that was just gimpshop and not gimp.

I think I found the Rod_D information about adding Photoshop plugins to GIMP, you can see it in this link here
