Please help me get FF5 to work in Corel Painter 2016.
FF does not appear in the Effects list.
It works fine in Photoshop CC 2015.

First, it shouldn't. Here's the list of supported host applications.

You can try an unofficial workaround:
- Create a folder named "Filter Forge 5" in the Plug-Ins folder of your Painter;
- Copy all the files from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Filter Forge 5\Plugin\x64" into the folder you created.
- Run Painter and check if Filter Forge appears on the filter list.

I put x64 in Painter Plugins folder.
It appears on the Painter effects list but get
"Not a valid windows handle" when I click on it.
I sent in an error report to you.

then I tried the complete FF5 folder to the Painter plugin folder.
Yes you can see the FF on the effects list but an error message comes up.

Would be great if I can get it FF5 to work
in painter.

This was told in 2009 that seems that Corel removed the plugin support or modified it in a way that filter forge could not work on Corel PAinter 12, I do not know if in Corel 2016 they have been modified it and allow again to have external plugins

Filter Forge compatible with Corel Painter but not with Corel Painter 12

People have been discussing plugin support for Painter 12 on other forums, and it seems Corel has discontinued support for plugins in Painter 12.

You can use certain tricks to make a 32-bit plugin work under a 32-bit version of Painter 12, but we will never add official support for a host application that doesn't officially support plugins

Very easy way to get FF to work in Corel Painter 2016 and perhaps earlier and later versions.

So far I only tested it once but will post again if any issues arise.
