Backing Up Filters?

Hi,

Can the filters be backed up?

Thanks.

Thanks, SpaceRay, for the info. I'll check it out. I really did do a search, first in Google, then in the General Discussion here. I was looking for probably "oversimplified" info like, "Where are the filters located?" and didn't see anything. I'm used to backing up PS presets which are straight-forwardly listed files in their respective directories inside Photoshop. This one I couldn't figure out.

(Now that I clicked on the first link, I did hit that result, but the "%%" signs intimidated me out of reading further - I kept going back to trying to find a "directory" where they are all stored.)

That's the ticket! Thanks, SpaceRay, for the links.

These filters are not different from previous versions and have the same format and are totally compatible so you can use (as far as I know) any of the older filters on FF 3.0

What you can´t do is use specific 3.0 filters on FF 2.0 because it will not work, but FF 3.0 accepts any filter from FF 1.0 and FF 2.0. You can go upward but not downward.

Well, it is not so strange, this is the "APPDATA" folder and is wh ere lots of other software put also their data, and they also use this special dedicated folder for APPlications DATA".
