Filter Forge 2.0

I can see no downsides to upgrading to version 2.0, so long as you can afford it. It's seriously better, like a whole ton better.

The filter category will potentially be updated, but that's no different from the old versions. If you keep your old version then you're going to miss out on many new filters since most contributors who have version 2.0 won't make filters for 1.x, even if the filter they're making would be possible in a legacy version.

If you don't want filters to move then you could just edit them and save the filter -- then it will appear in your own filter list under whatever name you give it. Call it "BUILDING_blah" or "001 - blah" or whatever else you'd like. If you often use your own filters then you can copy them all across to the new version. It's a very small change that only happens occasionally, and it's nowhere near as bad as Adobe's constant abusive changes to the interface for Photoshop (don't get me started, I could be here all day!)

Frank2 :The Lighting and Ambient Occlusion in 2.0 gives a whole new life to many old 1.0 filters.
