Hello

hi mundo,

you'll want to post something in the bugs forums for your registration key problem. i dont know if photoimpact is on the supported list, but i'm guessing a lot of photoshop plugin compatible programs work with FF. it is an .8bf type plugin.

also, post what o/s you're using and any bug reports you might have received. the more data, generally, the easier to debug a problem.

and welcome to FF.

Hi thanks for the nice welcome...
Yeah FF does work with Photoimpact..(but only version 11..luckily I got them all)...cause so far I am using FF on it..but just the trial version...and there it tells me I only have two days to use..
What happened was that after I got my registration key my computer froze...and completely crashed...and I guess what happened is that it took the key..but after the crash..I had no choice but to restore the computer to an earlier date..and now when I apply the key it won't take it ..I get a message that says Invalid user, or invalid key...I already got an email from someone..but they wanted to know what version of FF I had...so I'm still waiting to see what happens now...
Yeah I agree there's lots to choose from, I've been stocking up on filters ...hopefully I won't lose them, when I finallly get my FF program fixed..

ah, there are two current versions. v1.019 is the actual, main, this is what you bought program. FF 2.0 is the new version being tested under beta. you need two separate product keys, one for each of those versions. i believe you get the product key for one the same way you get the other, but you'll have to make a separate request for it and specify which version it's for. i have two computers with 1.019 on each and 2.0 on each, so i have four product keys and yes, it's a pain in the butt when one of my computers crashes

the nice thing here is that you shldnt have to download filters more than once. they are completely transferable computer to computer, as long as you dont try to run v2.0 filters in 1.019. but, you can run 1.019 filters in 2.0.

v2.0 has not been officially released yet. it is still in beta test. so, whatever you have now in 2.0 may be completely obsolete in a month. you also cant currently upload 2.0 filters to the filter library here online. but, yes, 2.0 is much more powerful than 1.019 already and there's still more to come. they are testing 2.0 in stages. we've already seen stage one and two and are eagerly awaiting stage 3. sometime after 3 i believe i heard that 2.0 filters will be able to be uploaded to the library, or a library... somewhere. but, that's unofficial. i am not a filter forge employee, just an annoying fan and user.

i've never used photoimpact, but i know one other person over on retouchpro who does and where he says it's not as powerful as photoshop, perhaps, it's a hell of a lot cheaper and he can do pretty much what he wants to do using it. so, what's your opinion of it?

I made this image using some of the filters, I downloaded..all except the robot itself..I was going to add it to the gallery, but not yet familiar how it works..would appreciate any opinions or suggestions.

Funny I didn't notice that..until now...I guess what happened, I ran filter of the whole image right after I was done...must be a filter effect that made that curve, not sure..I'm still new at this...and not yet familiar with all the settings..but I'll get there...

re photoimpact, ok. havent heard anything about ulead and corel coming together, but ok.
