Filter Forge CD (or is it a dvd...)

Can the disk that I got when I ordered Filter Forge be used directly with psp as plugins, or can it only be used with the stand alone program?

If that is the case, is there any way to download all the filters so they CAN be used as psp plugins?

hi amy,

CF is right and, if you have psp installed before you install FF, FF shld find psp and install itself as a plugin. there's an .8bf file that gets put in the 'plugins' folder of psp.

if that doesnt happen, or if you install FF and then psp, you can manually move the .8bf file into the psp 'plugins' folder and it shld work then.

the individual filters never work without the main program. so, you dont install the individual filters into psp. you do as above and simply download the filters to FF and when you call up FF from psp, it will look the same as when you load FF by itself, so all the filters you have in your personal library will be there regardless of if you loaded FF from psp or as a stand-alone.

amy,

to get filters to show up when you call FF from psp, you need to put the filters into your FF 'my filters'. this can be found in windowsXP at c:\documents and settings\username(whatever your account user name is)\application data\filter forge\my filters . i think that's right. if it's in vista then it's c:\documents and settings\user name\app data\roaming\filter forge\my filters . phew! (windows is nuts on this junk).

i'm doing those paths from memory, so you may have to look around a bit, but that's the jist of it. once you have them in 'my filters' they shld work fine when you call FF from psp.

FF filters MUST be within 'my filters' or they wont work. so, just copy the filters from the cd/dvd into 'my filters' and all shld be well you cant run them straight from the cd/dvd.

I'm just about to place my order and am considering the filter CD. Can you sel ect just 1 or 2 filters fr om the CD to load into the library, or do you have to load the entire set of filters. I wouldn't want to do that - I'm sure I'll only want a few favorites.

GMM - Filter Forge 2\System\Library - is that for Mac? I'm not having much luck and since I can't seem to download today, I thought I'd try the disk.

Please be more specific: where on Mac? You need to put this filter into /Users/your_username/Library/Application Support/Filter Forge 2/System/Library (for Mac).
